Man, still not hearing this -- "Blah Blah Blah," I mean. I like the album fine. But to my ears, "Blah Blah Blah" really goes downhill after its amazingly visceral first 17 or 18 second (which I'd probably give a 10 to), and after that -- when the melody comes in, I guess -- it slips into averageness. Good averageness, but still averageness I'm having trouble caring about. Need to listen to the album more; honestly have yet to pick up on all the audaciously retardo lines everybody keeps raving about either, so obviously they're at least not jumping out of the background at me. Mainly, though, I guess I'm starting to realize that I might have no idea what people mean by "bosh" -- not clear to me, say, how this song is more HI-NRG Europop than, say, "Bad Romance" much less, I don't know, Aqua or Las Ketchup or Jordy or somebody. (Maybe they were too early to be bosh-worthy, or didn't get high enough on the charts? Though it is interesing Gaga and Ke$ha are Americans!) So basically, so far, I wish I was hearing more Scooter (and Dictators, and Flipper, and disco for that matter) in Ke$ha. But maybe I will, still. (Also not sure why people are pretending that nobody took Kid Rock or 3Oh!3 -- the former of whom I prefer to Ke$ha, the latter of whom I don't -- to task for singing about life as a big bumb party, because I thought people took them to task for that all the time. But maybe I'm strawmanning. (Should also mention that I haven't yet absorbed this entire post or the comments yet, much less other blog talk about her -- really falling behind on keeping up with in-depth Ke$ha analysis these past couple days! -- so maybe I'm saying things other folks have already said, I dunno.) (And at that, it's still one of my favorite albums of the year, fwiw, though that's got as much to do with lack of competition as anything else. Doesn't sound like a Top 10 worthy album to me, though that could conceivably change.)
