    This is so good it makes us want to do one of those superlative deploying pull quote things that journalists often stick at the end of their reviews: this fantastic piece of work is already a strong contender for album of the year.

    Supernature sounds brilliantly here and now. Less coldly perverse than Black Cherry, it's also a lot of fun. [Sep 2005, p.110]

    The super-synthetic ethos of the album starts to rub against your skin; the band's retro dance-music collage feels less like innovative referencing and more like flat pastiche, and the simplistic little-girl lyrics add nothing.

    Supernature is absolutely fantastic. Anyone who claims that Goldfrapp were trying to be commercial just for the sake of selling CDs doesn9;t realize that people can enjoy (and enjoy creating) more than just one or two styles of music. :P… Expand

    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.… Expand

    Mindnumbingly vapid, but well crafted and will sound good in your Camaro. Put simply, it has song titles that replace 'you' with "U," and 'to' with '2.' I can't wait for the next 2Unlimited record.… Expand
