The album before this Seventh Tree was much more folky than this album and harked back to the first album, Head First is more like Black Cherry and Supernature, more upbeat and dance orientated. It's a dance album at heart and the first track Rocket, is a good example of this, I love Rocket, it's so catchy and happy, it's everything a good pop song should be, every time I hear this song it gets stuck in my head and I'm humming it all day. The rest of the album follows the same lines, Alison's glorious vocals are like silk, and along with the great production, all the songs are great to chill out to, and boogie to a bit as well. A very solid album, and one worth checking out.
Stand Out Tracks: Believer, Shiny And Warm & Rocket -
Love the album, but I'm not sure if I have a bad pressing or not. I bought the vinyl absolutely new, sealed, and everything, but i get a skip on a single line on the record.
Might just be my needle, I'm using a portable record player that is nowhere near what I should be using lol
Great album nonetheless! -
Edited 13 years agoFew of their imitators have applied such elegant flair to creating sounds that appear to belong in the past. The motifs and phrases heard on "Head First" do sound as though they could've been recorded thirty years ago, frequently evoking an imprecise sense of déjà vu. But the intricate detailing of the soundscape, the modelling of individual parts is quite contemporary: Goldfrapp's music invokes the past without actually imitating it. Even when refraining from breaking entirely new ground, or merely providing a fresh take on a familiar sound, Goldfrapp still have chunks of lesser bands in their stool… (More: http://writatlarge.blogspot.com/2010/06/head-first.html )
