Having said that, this one's developing a bit more interestingly.

I think she's trying to do a Donna Summer on this one.

So, the half-*rsed papers liked it, but the more serious media outlets had their reservations?

Although she's reached a bit that sounds like The Push Bike Song.

Is Wendi listening to this LP on double speed?

Eh?
Was that the last song?
Have I done something wrong?

Last track - Gullible Fool.
It's over 7 minutes long!

It has a video. That must mean it was a single.

How was this a single? It's like listening to paint dry.

So far I think it could have done with having at least one song chopped off.

This version seems to be only 4 minutes long. Thank God for that.

It's the ballad that'll grow into a groove monster!
Possibly.

I'm going to have some cauliflower cheese and watch the new Nicolas Cage/H.P. Lovecraft movie now.
It doesn't get any better than that.

This has her strongest vocals on the album.
That's not to say they're actually great.

It is over.
I feel that was an LP that had some decent tracks on it but suffered from uninspired production, songwriting and musicianship and from weak vocals. Also, there was a crippling lack of variety when it came to how the tracks sounded.

Wot Wendykins said.
Not without it's charms, and I think on repeated listens it would improve, but it's the worst La Roux album
