BUT NOW!!! I think I've got it. The schticky, 80s sound pallette on EMOTION is bland and lifeless. The production is partly to blame. It's clearly meant to evoke some kind of flashy, slick, plastic, 80s nightlife vibe, but ends up just feeling kinda sparkly, too plasticky, and distant. Even Carly's squeaky vocals just add to this. It's like the whole album is laminated to prevent you connecting with it.

So there. I don't give a **** about Carly Rae Jepsen and you people are idiots.
You would though, wouldn't you?
