Was disappointed that Aggro didn't give us his contact information again, since I found that endearing last time. Also surprised that Kimberley didn't lift her leg, but I suppose she's now housebroken. Anyhow, the track knows it's bubblegum and goes for it, gets over the borderline, but could have used more aggro and more candy.
I have a love-hate relationship with "Hold It Against Me." This doesn't surprise you. I'll love and hate at greater length on my own lj.
Have a like/dislike relationship with "Hello"; think there's tune and talent, wish Solveig/Dragonette wouldn't get all messed-up in their mannerisms. But maybe the mannerisms are the psychological condition for their tunes and talents.
Am I the only one who was disappointed that the "Grenade" video wasn't more illustrative? (Perhaps this explains why so far I'm the only one to tick the song.) Did like the video, however; definite influence of Un Chien Andalou, what with priests and piano schlepping and the like, though I note the absence of a razor blade.
The Glee "Telephone" has an overrated Filipina bawler and a lot of clamor but's the clamor what gets it across.
Think Taio is finally pulling it together, actual good, coagulated prettiness rather than a mess of dynamite (which I also liked, but this is a keeper).
