The first album was borderline average, this is just terrible. 2 semi-decent songs, the rest is unlistenable manure. Oh, and the lead singer is a complete moron.

On first hearing one of the songs, I was encouraged. Upon hearing the full length, I was appalled. Idiotic lyrics, sub-standard Jam and Morrissey rip-offs. Terrible.

The first two tracks are great. The rest is hopeless. It took seven years to do this? Obviously Howlett spent a lot of that time polishing his trumpet.

I own this, but it's still a very overrated and disappointing album. Every single song has the same form, with few shines of the brilliance of Coldplay. Hopefully follow-up will be better.

Oh sweet jesus, save us from this pile of kitsch-camp Elton John inspired effulent.

Oh christ. Another manufactured inane insipid white woman who's trying to the new demographic: 30-40 year olds who listen to Radio 2. Awful.

A bad sign: she's on the cover in her underwear. Britney Spears has been with us for 5 or 6 years, and already has a greatest hits. It's her prerogative, and this is my prerogative: don't buy this.

Oh yes they can.
