IT'S A TRAP! Scandinavian Music Journal

Halfway through listening to this disc, I was ready to dismiss it as fairly innocuous synth-pop with serviceable female vocals. Fortunately the second half springs to life a bit, thanks to a couple stronger tunes like "Buy yourself" and "Runaway tram," which are more rhythmically solid and feature some nice loud bass. There's nothing wrong with making commercial-leaning dancepop, but there's just so much of the stuff around these days and Goldfrapp does this kinda thing much better.
