My Bloody Valentine have a new album out?

You guys need to retroactively tune the Britney Spears - Femme Fatale review down from 9/10 so I can take your website seriously.

ooh err matron etc.

Also - she found now, a nadir? What nonsense is that, it's the most purely beautiful song on the album. Plus I'm dubious that a band could really parody themselves when they only have one other album that sounds remotely like that

Me = 9/10

I was probably a bit dramatic describing it as a nadir (I mean, it is for me, but I don't actually HATE it), but to expand a bit, I think edging Shields' vocals higher in the mix is the real problem - considering how much he purportedly labours over the sounds, there is a definite banality/laziness/wallpaperiness to a lot of the lyrics that's fine buried in the mix, but feels really exposed by the way it's been brought to the fore here.

and everyone else who ignored the pompous insistence that the dumb titles for this album be written in lower case only

it's great that they're back and all but you don't have to make your review look like a Tumblr post just to suit a control freak's whim
