‘Superblood Woman’, am album highlight, fits into that fold of brilliance, too. You can just imagine it at a festival, slotted between ‘Do The Evolution’ (1998) and ‘Hail, Hail’ (2011) with pacey, hip-shaking swagger and clever time signatures.
uhhh... clever time signatures?

I'm so pissed off that NME would say this is a mediocre record and then show total ignorance about PJ

But the question is whether anyone is still listening any more? With this multi-faceted record, the answer is likely yes. It just won’t change your life.
Question mark shouldn't be there. Are we really using whether or not a record changes our life as a metric? How did this lady get her job?
