    Only a few tracks available on Spotify UK so based on a sample listen. State of the art what Alex? Yes it's got state of the art autotune. Frankly it doesn't matter if it's Brittany or not this is practicaly the same as dozens of other releases over the past few years. Love or hate Brittany she once had a few good to great songs given to her. Check out Richard Thompsons cover of Ooops I did it again.

    This sounds like unlistenable dreck with awful modern production and no good material. It's a bloody disgrace her family allowed her to be 'forced' into a studio at this time. At least they didn't put out a bunch of incoherant tracks by a drunk/drugged Amy Winehouse ! I think Alex should have given the lotto a third spin and come up with a superior suggestion. Now I could have given a far more positive review to the Wombles LP by the genius Mike Batt . It's Nil points from me I'm afraid. If I could have listened to any more it would have been -10.

    Well, you floored me with this one, Alex. I'm listening via Spotify and will keep an open mind...

    Just to clarify, the UK release is definitely 12 tracks, the first highlighted 12 on Spotify - I'm guessing the other (greyed out) tracks are from the US or bonus version.

    Oh, and thanks Paul for holding back how you felt!

    Oh that is strange...? Perhaps such musical delights are only available to Premium subscribers! Let me have a look...

    EDIT: Updated the link with what looks like another version - can you play more now?

    Yes, I guess it's the limit for the boggo ordinary Spotify users. Perhaps that's a blessing in disguise after hearing the first four songs? I would say she probably sleep-walked through these numbers and studio trickery did the rest. Not even memorable by her own standards. I really wanted to give it three stars for the Chirpy Chirpy reference but I'm afraid she failed the grade.

    Looks like the plebs are restricted to 4 tracks or to put it another way mercifully spared listening to the rest.
