Goldfrapp unfortunately fall a little short of the standards with 'Head First'. One foot in the 80's like its main competitors still, with the same 'sythy pop' sounds many have splurted out over recent years.
Its a fair effort from Alison Goldfrapp & Co but 'black cherry' and the beauty of that album is a distant memory. Head first falls into the slum of the generic poppy stuff we seem to keep hearing, fair play to them for setting the ball rolling with there sound back in 2000 ten years ago. But it feels like they have set the scene and others have come along and made the 'scene' there own and done it a little better than this duo. its decent and unoffensive effort of an album, but nothing comes along and knocks you for 6 as a listener. 'Dreaming' is a personal favourite of mine, one of the more upbeat dancable tracks from the album.
I still think Goldfrapp will be very succesful with this album as they are a great duo with love for their music. I do feel previous albums like 'black cherry' and 'seventh tree' are better albums.
