The Beat, well, that bass says it all!

Love that drum outburst in Lipstick Vogue, and the lyrics again, brilliant to say the least.

'Pump It Up' was a bit, say, cliched for me. But again, the pounding bass and chorus gets stuck in your head...Grrr.

The middle section was a bit weak, but 'You Belong To Me' wasn't all that bad! I didn't like 'Hand in Hand' though. Yeah, It's catchy, but there's nothing much happening here. Pretty average track.

Overall though, I'm definitely impressed! It is a bit more poppy than I thought, but that wasn't a big turn-off. The vocals/bass definitely were the standout's for me, although the keyboards/Drumming were quite good as well. The lyrics were entertaining. Angry as well as funny and sarcastic at times. Cleverly done
Glad you liked it man. I haven't forgotten about this thread btw - life (work and a load of other stuff) has just been a bit more hectic than usual this week. I'll definitely be updating again on Friday, maybe tomorrow

edit - crappy grammar!
