La Roux - La Roux

This is going to sound really horrible. I liked La Roux more when i didn't know what La Roux looked like. Am i the most horrible person in the world or what? I mean it's not that she's hideously unattractive say beth ditto unattractive it's just that anyone who looks like ziggy stardust david bowie is bound to freak you out. I'm also wary of albums that get so much praise and are publicly heralded as album of the year seemingly before the reviewer has even heard the album. It seems that longer it goes the less appealing this album has become to reviewers as some of the more recent ones i have read have slammed the album as just another 80's synth pop rehash, with irritatingly repetitive vocals. perhaps those ealry reviewers are just so scared of missing the 'next big thing' that they'll happily jump on the bandwagon as a a safety measure. Anyway, it's all subjective and just as irrelevant as this blog is so let me leave you with the only opinion that matters.., mine. This album is worth a listen, but don;t be shocked if you think you've heard all the songs before. because you probably have in one form or another. she may look like him, but she's not a patch on the thin white freak.
