5.0 out of 5 stars Great, and slightly odd, dance-pop music March 28, 2009

By Mike VINE™ VOICE

Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase

This album is kind of an odd duck. On the whole, it's produced a lot more like the European pop-dance music (vocal trance, etc) except it has some really odd instrumentation and song structures. Interesting musically. Reminiscent of electroclash with glam elements in the choruses. Lyrics are beyond dumb and occasionally autotuner is used to mask vocal deficits, but this is typical for the genre, since it's about the beats.

Oh, and boy will it get you moving. Real high energy stuff. Great for a workout or the morning drive to work. Every song is good. Nearly every track sounds like it could be a single. A very solid album.

Highly recommended for dance, glam, and electro fans. Most everyone else with a moderately open mind to dance or pop should like it too.

If you like this album, you should probably check out the Veronicas new album too. Another great electro/dance/pop album with rock song structures.

5.0 out of 5 stars It grew on me like a bad rash June 8, 2009

By snake plisken

I initially bought it for the first two singles, but I must say that as I played it a few times during my commute, it grew on me. Nearly every track is enjoyable (especially loud, BTW), and of course "Pokerface" has now become my favorite dance-pop song (if only for that first 10 seconds alone). To paraphrase Stellan Skaarsgard's (sp?) comments about the work of Dan Brown...Lady Gaga's "the Fame" is the equivalant of junk food, its not very nutritious, and before you know it you've gone back for handful after handful until you've gotten a stomach ache.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great workout music January 13, 2009

By Amy G.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is my new go-to cd for the treadmill. All of the songs (with the exception of "Brown Eyes", which kinda sucks) have a good keep-you-moving dance beat. They're catchy tunes that stick in my head long after my workouts are over, and Lady Gaga's voice is better than most dance-pop artists. I do have to say that the lyrics on this cd are definitely lacking (my reason for only 4 stars). They go into all-out stupid territory sometimes. For example: "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick," from Lovegame. Or, "...'cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin," from Pokerface. Oh, and the phrase "cherry-cherry boom-boom" is in, like, 3 songs for no reason whatsoever (her trademark, maybe? Maybe at 27, I'm just too old for this stuff). Still, it's a fun cd, and who listens to this type of music for the lyrics anyway?
