I am impressed by how every tune on this album sounds familiar from somewhere else. It should annoy me but, somehow, it makes me feel strangely comforted.

Complicated vocal line.

Relatively.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:31 pm

Oh noes.

The voice has settled into its usual white noise zone.

Synthetic sounding as well.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:32 pm

The tune is OK.

Her voice is threatening to tip dangerously into atonal Florence and her Amazing Fantabulous Machine territory. shifty

Track 10 - Reflections Are Protection.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:34 pm

OK, I'll just say it.

I cannot stand her voice.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 12, 2020 7:34 pm

Chords are very familiar.

It's all so much much better when the songs slow down and have more of a conspicuous bassline.

It's like the bass drags her down to earth and she starts sounding almost soulful.

I think it's from one of the underwater levels in Supermario bros. 3.

The rhyming on this album is somewhat remedial.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 12, 2020 7:38 pm

Track 11 - Armour Love.

by Guest Tue May 12, 2020 7:38 pm

Slow one to (semi-finish) on.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:38 pm

Is this supposed to be a pun on "Harmour Love"? dunno

by Guest Tue May 12, 2020 7:39 pm

Something for the Laydees

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 12, 2020 7:40 pm

She's actually singing well. gasp

"The eleventh song from La Roux's debut self titled album. (Note: the original version is nearly 6 minutes long, but the last 2 minutes are just blank, as in NOTHING plays. So to save your time and my time I just cut off the last two mintues (sic) in Movie Maker.)"
