la roux.

so the self titled album from the uk's newest electropop duo has leaked.

the question is, is it any good? other than the drum hitting me in the face during every song, the answer is yes, it is infact good. sadly though on first listen, the band's second and third singles 'in for the kill' and 'bulletproof' are the highlights of this debut album. both being fantastic songs gave me high hopes for the album, hoping for more to come, but these songs are the best it gets.

don't get me wrong the rest of the album is good, but thats like saying the rest of the star trek movies are good compared to the new one, true, but it doesn't matter because the new star trek movie was infact fantastic.

but taking all that out of consideration there are tracks to get stuck in your head, alot of catchy lyrics and memorable beats make some tracks on this album really enjoyable, such as 'i'm not your toy' & Fascination' but after 45 minutes of listening to this album is a bit grating, especially because alot of the same arrangements are used throughout the last few songs, which makes it hard for any of them to really stand out.

this album is really hard to judge. i'm going to a give it a rating, but i reserve the right to bump it up or down in the next week.

rating: 3.5 out of 5

this debut album from la roux will be available on itunes and shops everywhere on monday!
