UncutI doubt there'll be many better albums released this year. [Jun 2003, p.98]

BlenderAlthough a few tracks retain Felt Mountain's eerie beauty, Black Cherry's natural habitat is less supper club than strip club, and Goldfrapp sound right at home. [May 2003, p.119]

Jul 24, 2012Goldfrapp know how to draw you in and, more importantly, hook you.
-
Black Cherry strips away almost all of the film score drama of Felt Mountain. This would be a bigger disappointment than it is if the album's dance-oriented, neo-new wave were less successful than it is.
-
Delightfully pushes boundaries.
-
The best songs on this cunning, efficient, frequently daft and fractionally disappointing album are the ones which sound most like the misty reveries of [their] debut.
-
A dull compromise of artistic intent and marketability.
