@brasstax: That's exactly it. I think that most parents wouldn't pick it up until it was pointed out to them, either. Aren't there better ways to be shocking in late 2008?

It's too bad, I actually liked Blackout a lot. Meh, I'm sure I won't be the only one in the she-was-better-when-she-was-crazy camp.

Sammy Hagar and Eddie Van Halen are kicking themselves right now that they didn’t think of that one first.

whatevz, these songs are HOT!

well, seriously, some of them are. "unusual you" is going to be great, as is "Blur" I think. "Mannequin" sounds kinda like a mess, but I think "if you seek amy" and "mmm papi" sound pretty fun, despite week lyrics.

Right! Thank you for that, it all makes sense now. I can rest easy now.

@Ned Raggett: Damn, the freaking Poster Children. I saw them play in Ann Arbor once during a massive snowstorm. There were maybe 20 people in the place. They still destroyed. The '90s were kind of awesome.

Ha, I was thinking about the Poster Children last night when I first read this post. Stellar, stellar band.

@amyk: THANK YOU! POSTER CHILDREN! I've been trying to remember why that wordplay seemed so familiar to me, and it's because of Rick & Rose.

Is Britney is actually ripping off Poster Children?

If You See Kay.

And my name is Amy and I don't appreciate this at all. There are no good Amy songs.

maybe it's not that she was better when she was crazy, but maybe she was better when she was too dazed and confused to have any input on her own album. that's a sad thought, but it might be true.

best pop album of the decade isn't completely inconceivable, but let's not forget Fever, Robyn, Futuresex/Lovesounds. it seems like a sad commentary to award "best pop album" to a record whose titular star was barely present in mind or body.
