    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".

    Insipid and derivative.

    There is more than enough pop fuel here to maintain La Roux's unlikely momentum for a while.

    Strangely moving robo-pop from hyped duo.

    So far 2009 belongs to La Roux, the rest are just playing catch-up.
