I used to adore this album, but looking back, it doesn't sound nearly as good as I thought it did. Especially when going track-by-track.

If I go and listen to any of these individual songs, it's a decent experience. But more than any release this year, this doesn't show it's genius unless you listen to it all at once.

One of my favourites. I may be going out on a whim, but it may be the best pop album ever. (not being a fan of Madonna or Michael Jackson, or to a BEA member's dislike, Nicki Minaj).

Tightrope wasn't the highlight for me. I'm actually surprised that it was the track that ended up getting the most acclaim. Dance Or Die, Cold War, Come Alive & BabopbyeYa are better tracks.

Alright on album, but don't miss any chance to see her live. I've seen her live twice, both times absolutely amazing!

Not completely consistent, but really really good. Sir Greendown and Cold War are my favourites.
