Albums you want to love.....but just cant.
Florence And The Machine - Lungs and Ceremonials. Both nice, but the love's not there for me.

Two words: Arcade Fire Every album (not counting the new one, haven't heard it yet) I've tried. Believe me, I've tried Good one! I do love Funeral, but just never got into subsequent albums.

Julia Holter - City Appearing Re embedded links/videos, I'm really in favour of stopping it and just replacing the video with a link. The embedded links crash my iPod. As a result, I don't post in this thread as much as I would like to …

@The_Carpathian: I nearly choked when I saw you listed Spirit Of Eden, but I have to remind myself that we all have very different tastes. Also, and perhaps the real reason for nearly choking is because Spirit Of Eden is my favourite album of all …

Which albums, upon release, disappointed you?
@ Cervus: We Too Are One is a welcome addition to this discussion. I love Savage. It's probably my favourite Eurythmics album. I agree with your description of it being flat. It's just dull really, with hardly any noteworthy songs. In…

`Tales Of Us` - Reviews By Us
I don't think some people realize what the term sell-out is really about. Making an album to please a part of your fan base (and that is not what they did, but are being accused of), is not a sell-out. Making an album to please a record compa…

Any Blondie or Debbie Harry after No Exit. Pia Zadora, Rock it Out. :P I would say every Blondie album after Autoamerican. As for MIA, her third album was a huge mess and disappointment. .

Me, I love cats, but I would hate dissecting them.... Brilliant! I guess you are able to deal with disappointment when cats let you down!

> When Alison herself admits afterwards they made bad choices on that record, it speaks for itself really. As far as I'm aware, that was only with Head First. It would be unfair to judge them so harsly because of one error/one sell-out rec…

Another one I'd like to add to my list - Blue Nile - Peace At Last This was the follow up to Hats, which I loved. Peace At Last just didn't have to hooks or the consistency of Hats or A Walk Across The Rooftops. Recovered? No. I ha…

The 3rd Voice of the behive album (ok I was young etc). Ooh good one! Sex & Misery was very disappointing.

`Tales Of Us` - Reviews By Us
But to follow head first up with what is obviously a fan pleasing record is equally indicative of compromising their artistic freedom. Like you argue yourself, Archway, it seems a very strategic choice to get fans back on board. But Tales of Us i…

I do think they sold out, even back in supernature days they were letting the likes of ooh la la be used for tv commercials. That feels like selling out to me.It doesn't matter whether head first was rubbish or not by Alison's own admissio…

`Tales Of Us` - Reviews By Us
There is no way Tales Of Us can be seen as sell-out. If Goldfrapp wanted to sell-out, they would have made another pop album. They would have put out proper singles and aimed for the charts (see Supernature). Selling-out is giving the wider public…
