"Head First" is based on the white Disco Pop Gassenhauer sound of the late 70s to mid-80s, which would not have to be necessarily negative, it would be like actually expected of Goldfrapp an interpretation of and not just an unimaginative copy become the mainstream this year. This one has the really oriented with "Head First" to death gedudelten mass taste is incomprehensible to me in the light, that this time had to offer even quite timeless pearls.
The Alison Goldfrapp, as I told another reviewer, before the appearance of "Head First" repeatedly stressed that they wanted to produce reinforced with this album Hits calmed only slightly, because in the end what counts lands in the CD player. It is certainly not impossible that Goldfrapp reach their destination with one or another single from the album, but the price for this is the final loss of the exotic bonus, the Goldfrapp has always identified for me.
My opinion about "Head First" may sound coated hard for fans, but also the result of my personal expectations of Goldfrapp. Let's be honest; the masterpiece "Felt Mountain" is "Head First" far away in all aspects of light years, but also compared to "Black Cherry", "Super Nature" and "Seventh Tree" is not to deny the fall of the content qualitative claim of "Head First" , I doubt that will be compared to the four previous albums by abating the release euphoria "Head First" still an issue.
Opinions and tastes can of course also be different here, which is why I recommend before making a purchase, a listen in "Head First".
