I haz marked the work.

Very close to 5 Asterixies. I think it was that one that was too close to Kids in America that stopped it getting the top marks.

It is over.

I felt that was a very well-judged album which managed to capitalise as much as possible on the gravitational pull of Kids in America while flinging in plenty of other elements to keep it interesting, creating an album that was positively Zeitgeisty, despite being co-written by a bloke from the 1950s.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 4 stars.

Hmm...

That was OK.

A minor effort, but impossible to dislike.

Just like Kim herself really.

Despite her success, she never really seemed at all starry or that she was all that bothered about the whole hooplah.

She was too down-to-earth for all that and it showed.

Perhaps to her ultimate detriment?

Still, it made her enduringly likeable as a person and ensured that her songs will always be remembered fondly if not as 'mighty works'.

I think this might be my middle life crisis, but I preferred it to Kraftwerk's Radio-Activity.
