at her forgetting about Janet's 'Feedback'. I thought everyone had forgotten about it.

Initial reactions:
'Sheezus': 7/10 'L8 CMMR' - 6/10 'Air Balloon' - 5/10 'Our Time': 9/10 'Insincerely Yours': 10/10 (Remains me of Sean Paul's 'Shake That'? Single material) 'Take My Place': 8/10 (Coldplay knockoff, but it works) 'As Long As I Got You': 8/10 'Close Your Eyes': 9/10 'URL Badman': 8/10 (YAS DRAG ME LILY) 'Silver Spoon': 8/10 'Lie For Me': 6/10 'Hard Out Here': 7/10 'Interlude': 9/10 'Somewhere Only We Know': 6/10
It's still very much her sound, but in some ways it's a very natural progression. She's grown up with this album without sacrificing a lot of the verbal eye-rolls that got her where she is, and it really works to her benefit. A very unusual, and noticeable, amount of vocal processing here, but fuck it, this is damn good.

Just listened to bits of Sheezus, L8 CMMR, Air Balloon, and Our Time. All of them are great, especially Sheezus and Our Time so I am really excited for this!

"URL Badman" and "Silver Spoon" are incredible. I really like this album and am excited to give it a second listen.

fuck iTunes, stopping the stream during "Insincerely Yours" and refusing to go further, even trying multiple times. *goes to look for a download*

Finally had time to listen it. Amazing!
Insincerely Yours, Take My Place, URL Badman, Silver Spoon, Close Your Eyes. So many instant favs.
"Insincerely" needs to be a single, so many references/lil' shades here. <333333333

After a third listen, I'm obsessed with this. "URL Badman," "Insincerely Yours" & "Silver Spoon" are too fu¢king good. "Wind Your Neck In" should have made the standard edition too; probably the only bonus track I'd say that about. Easily my favorite LP of hers. Oh Lily

This is kind of boring to me. Like, a less catchy and clever version of her older cds. Maybe I need to listen to it more.

Take My Place is gorgeous. Miserable Without Your Love is also lovely. She's so good at delivering emotional songs.

Oh my my my have I missed Lily Allen, and I didn't even know it. Enjoying this new album, pretty sure I'm going to support her and buy it on Tuesday; however, I will be purchasing the Deluxe Edition. A few songs on the bonus tracks should have replaced the odd song on the album. For example, I love "Miserable Without Your Love", and "Who Do You Love?".
"I Don't Mind Babe" slightly reminds me of her past work, "Not Fair" being one of them.
Oh and I forgot, I love her voice, it's melodic to me; I also love her shit talking. :)

$14.99 for the deluxe...ON SALE?? WTF are they thinking? I'mma wait for a price drop before buying this. The only person to get that much outta me is Beyonce and at least she included a DVD.

I gave the deluxe trax a quick listen. Not for me. Worst thing is...I can't even order the standard in physical copy from Amazon. Ridic.

Sheezus L8 Cmmr Air Balloon Our Time Insincerely Yours Close Your Eyes URL Badman Hard Out HereI think this will wind up being my favorite album of hers; whip-smart lyrics with some great hooks and melodies. I gave the deluxe trax a quick listen. Not for me. Worst thing is...I can't even order the standard in physical copy from Amazon. Ridic. The standard will be $8.99 at Target.

Yeah I saw that but I am in Sydney right now and want to order it from Amazon so I can get the Autorip immediately. Oh well. Dumb move on her label's part.

Shooter, you are so helpful. I feel like this is the second time you have provided this valuable service for me. I tried to search everywhere on Amazon for the standard physical copy and could not find it. Thank you so much!!
Edit: Baaahhh. This is the clean edition only. Fack. I'm glad I was able to cancel in time. Sorry, Lily...I tried but not here for bleeped out albums, especially when this album is fairly explicit.

Yup SHOOTER. When I downloaded the AutoRip, it was all clean. If you notice, the link you provided was for the Explicit MP3 album. If you order the physical copy, it's clean. It's rather unfortunate. People had comments about it too. At least I was able to cancel but still, it's annoying. I don't know why they don't have the standard explicit for sale in CD form on Amazon.

After looking online, I'm starting to wonder if there is an explicit version of the standard edition; I've known of instances before where the explicit version of an album existed only in digital format. Guess I will find out tomorrow at Target.

I had low expectations for the album, but damn, I'm impressed. I was a big fan of her last two albums, I just thought the pre-album singles were weak. I'm glad that I was wrong about the final product. 'Insincerely Yours': 10/10 This is my favorite too.
