Re the Sucker Punch conversation, I would like to clarify that 'manufactured' was the descriptor I used to contrast for lack of a better way to put it. I think a more ideal way to put my point would be that it feels like Sigrid and her team made that album to realize her vision first and foremost, rather than to reach the big time above all. I do agree that it's pretty much another solid contemporary pop album, as opposed to something spectacular a la Future Nostalgia and Melodrama (not that the latter's particularly alike).

Anyways, that discussion actually segues decently into this week's ...transparently commercial effort. Maybe you all would have expected me to enjoy it, especially if I hadn't said anything last week, but as of now, I'm not sure I'll bother with my standard three spins. Incidentally, we were tackling Spice at this exact time last year, which I feel is a far better example of designed-to-succeed pop, at least at the moment.
