    Has anyone mentioned how great the new 'The Evens' album "The Odds" is? If not, it's really great. Go listen to it.

    As for Taylor Swift, I'm not a big fan.

I really don't understand her appeal.
    I love Warrior it after listening it for a few days. Definitely met my expectations as a follow-up more than Born This Way did (I like the comparison between Gaga and Kesha sound/talent wise, and between The Fame/Fame Monster vs Animal/Cannibal as IMO dual classics). I'd say a good sign for a pop CD is that something like 12-13 songs of the 16 wouldn't surprise me if they were chosen among the singles, and 2 of the ones that would be surprising choices is solely because they're ballads. Money songs front to back, including the deluxe tracks

    Did somebody just compare Gaga's The Fame and The Fame Monster to Ke$ha's whatever her albums are named?!

    Hmm...I actually think it's pretty underwhelming. Losing You is still fantastic and will remain one of my favorite songs of the year, but the rest varies between good, mediocre, and muddled.

    On Metacritic: Cannibal 73
    The Fame 71

    I find Ke$ha to be generally more fun than Gaga.

    To be fair, The Fame is a pretty shapeless album. There's about three tracks (Boys Boys Boys, LoveGame, and Eh Eh) that (just barely) indicate that The Fame Monster would be an insane genius masterpiece. Plus, Cannibal has probably my favorite non-Shakira lyric ever: "be too sweet and you'll be a goner/yep, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer".

    And her vocal contribution to this is...? This might as well be called Will.I.Am ft. random girl.

    And what's with the fake British accent?

    The shitty fake British accent is the only thing that I find remotely redeemable about that song.

    But in general, that song, that video...

    Yes. The Fame is my favorite of the recent pop boom (last 5 years ish) but Animal is pretty close behind it. What makes both CDs great IMO is there's no filler or skip tracks. The only song close to less than A- for me on the Fame is Money Honey, while on Animal the only song I skip is Tik Tok from over-saturation. That's my biggest problem with some recent well reviewed CDs like 21, Teenage Dream, Truth About Love, Body Talk, anything by Rihanna, etc., their best songs are as good as on The Fame/Animal, but a big chunk of their songs are skips to me, and thus I don't have much interest in listening to them front to back. The Fame and Animal feel complete IMO. I think part of it is that Gaga and Kesha waited years after being picked up to have their turn, and surely had written a ton of songs at that point to pick the best ones from

    Animal (and Kesha, period.) is total garbage.
