The real electropop is here, not this crappy one like Enrique Iglesias and LFMAO that everybody wants to listen to. Making a beatiful duo work, Elly Jackson and Bem Lengmaid gave us pop, pop, pop and electro with good lyrics and strange videoclips. "Quicksand", "Tigerlily" and "I'm Not Your Toy" will show to you the power of this album.

Horrible album no more words to say.

Insipid and derivative.

First 3 songs are shockingly bad. Was about to throw CD out the car window then the album finds some solace. OK but nothing great or new.

This is good album.

Album of the decade

I think it's easy to underestimate this album which has a simple theme and is quite poppy, but La Roux should be praised for producing a hugely enjoyable first offering. It isn't stunning, but it's fun, and I love it. I think the sound is progressive too, and although clearly influenced by the 80's, it gives us all something unique to enjoy.

Brilliant album .elly has a very unuasal voice and i love it but i can see why people dont like her .If it wasnt for cover my eyes i'd give it a 10.

So incomprehensibly awful that, as Melville struggled to covey the intense symbolism of "The Whiteness of the Whale" I find the English vocabulary inadequate to even being to convey the true, immeasurable, hideousness of this "music"...as Mistah Kurtz might have put it: "the horror...the horror".

If you don't like electro pop like Gabe C. and Mike L. clearly do not, don't rate albums of this kind!! If you do like pop electro fun then get this album!

Strength-draining and intense, but coupled with amazing composition, lyrics, and soft singing. It's love-or-hate (because of how intense it is, yada yada), but doubtlessly high-quality.

This album is one of my favourites to date. Bulletproof, Colourless Colour, Tigerlily, In For The Kill and As If By Magic are all great tracks. The album as a whole works nicely and Ely's vocals work best in the catchy Bulletproof and mysterious Tigerlily. Overall the album is extremely cohesive and makes for a great listen.

Finally someone that know how to use electronic instruments! Elly's voice is remarkable and the complexity synthesisers will immerse you into a colourful and nightlife atmosphere that will make your feet suddenly move along the beat.

La Roux's debut is an ode and revival to the 80's synthpop. Fans of Lady Gaga or Robyn will be insanely addicted to these killer beats it's worth repeating over and over again.

Key Tracks:
"Reflections Are Protection"
