Goldfrapps 2nd album - "Black Cherry" was in stark contrast to their first - "Felt Mountain". This album - "Supernature" is a mix of both those ideas, done even better. Successfully melding at least two separate equally powerful ideas together is something that makes a really good artist. Swaying from a touchingly delicate siren soundtrack-dreamscape to quirky, bossy, robo-pop glam-stomp. A stunningly dramatic vocal performance carrying real passion & belief with touches of dry humour. Highly empathic, beautifully crafted music with real-time quirks backs each song exceptionally well. A classic album for Goldfrapp.

Supernature is absolutely fantastic. Anyone who claims that Goldfrapp were trying to be commercial just for the sake of selling CDs doesn't realize that people can enjoy (and enjoy creating) more than just one or two styles of music. :P

This album isn't bad, but it lacks the emotional aspects and artistic aspects, and, essentially, the creativity of their past two records. I wish they'd return to the Felt Mountain feel. Black Cherry was similar to this style, but it had enough emotion and creativity in the design and this just seems limp compared. If CD #4 is like Felt Mountain, I'll be unbelievably happy. If it's like Black Cherry I'll be fine. But, it might be in their best favor to invent a brand new feel to their music, like the gigantic leap they made from Felt Mountain to Black Cherry (even though Hairy Trees and possibly Forever sounded like they could have been on Felt Mountain. Utopia was synthy, and these are in the same vein as Utopia.) I want a change. Or a Felt-Mountain/Black-Cherry hybrid. But not this. Aside from about 2 or 3 great songs, a few good songs, and one or two "OK" songs, there's nothing to rave about.

I love every song on this album. You don't see many artist's albums like this nowadays. I love working out to it, jamming to it in my car, or listening while I'm working. In a way it is unfortunate that Goldfrapp has not become mainstream with this album (Remember last Christmas when every Target commercial had a Goldfrapp song on it? It figures, they don't even sell any Goldfrapp CDs there.), but in a way, it's great that they are indie artists since they toured with SXSW a year ago. Keep up the great work!

One of the best albums I have ever heard...completely timeless as I am still listening to it now.
Dennis S gave it a10:
Utterly Fantastic! Rugged and space bendingly musical.
Nathan Co gave it a10:
Supernature is a classy, glamorous and sexy album which you can tell has been well produced. Any track from the album could be a hit single.
