Another Year In Pop: 12
Mar. 25th, 2008 11:42 amTick rate on these polls has been down a little recently but I sense that may change this week as two of the most hotly-tipped new releases share chartspace. Yes, Guillemots and One Night Only are back! Back!! BACK!!!!

Date: 2008-03-25 12:21 pm (UTC)Tough competition this week - Estelle is amazing obv, Madge & Justin is pretty good judging from the two listens I've given it so far (I like the way it ups the mental after a fairly plodding intro from Timbaland).
Bothered about Gnarls - it's less interesting than 'Gone Daddy Gone'.
Guillemots sound like Jesus Jones or something! It's very strangely produced, all grunging bass and yelling with nothing in between. I'm intrigued but no tick.
Sparro - man it's like Ben Affleck has started a Fischerspooner tribute band. Takes too long to get going, with little payoff when it does.
Cilmi - failing to get enthusiastic about this, something about the 'lessons to be learned' chorus melody isn't sitting right. She's pretty but not as fabulous as Estelle so no tick.
One Night Only - I can't get past the opening hi-hats I'm afraid. These chaps have been plugged to death on Hits!TV :(
