介绍：

Official group for Goldfrapp's 5th album, Head First.

Head First received mostly positive reviews, with most critics noting its heavy influence of 1980s music. Allmusic stated that the duo "explore the uber-glossy productions, staccato melodies, and dramatic key shifts that were the hallmarks of anthems that some might not want to admit they liked decades later", noting the influence of Giorgio Moroder, ABBA and Xanadu-era Olivia Newton-John. Giving the album a B rating, Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Head First sounds as if they've been commissioned to paint the inside of Olivia Newton-John's mind, circa 1980: all strobe-lit synths, feathery vocals, and goofy synonyms for sex." BBC Music raved: "Free of anything in the slightest bit terrible, Head First is amazing stuff." Spin magazine said that "On Head First, Will Gregory creates a pitch-perfect neon-lit '80s wonderland with Hi-NRG bass lines and plenty of that fat synth sound made famous by Van Halen's 'Jump.'" The Guardian noted that "Head First returns Goldfrapp to commercial waters – this time the glossy, optimistic 1980s pop that provides the playlist backbone of Magic FM", but "there are instances when the songwriting isn't that exciting, when the choruses don't ascend quite as stratospherically as they're supposed to, and you're left listening to what is, in essence, an MOR pop album." According to The Times, "The best moments on Goldfrapp's album Head First — Believer and the title track — also double as its uncoolest ones." Slant Magazine wrote that "Head First is a brief trip, but it's saturated with enough hi-NRG motifs and sounds for countless sweaty workouts at Jack LaLanne."
The album also received criticism for following the musical directions of artists that have been influenced by Goldfrapp. The Independent noted that "Goldfrapp now suddenly effect a complete volte-face on Head First, heading back to the electronic pop of their three previous releases", which is "a curious, circuitous trajectory which gives the impression that Goldfrapp are in the invidious position of playing catch-up to all the GaGas, LaRouxs and Little Boots upon whom they must surely have been a major influence." NME declared: "Once the source of pop inspiration, now it seems they're content to follow." He further commented that the album "is basically an upbeat electro-pop record with one foot in the '80s, much like roughly 85 per cent of music made in the last two years." The Observer agreed, stating: "Having pre-empted the wave of womanly electro, they appear now to be behind rather than ahead of the curve." She also called the album "decent but unsurprising".

Why are O's used in 2010 above?? I agree with the reviews. It doesn't feel like their taking a direction, just going with the trend of the 80s sound, one that is starting to get boring and cliché with the amount of artists doing it.

The album is good, have it's moments; but in the "glossy" albums category, Black Cherry and Supernature are better.
