Oops, this comment above was me, though I figure you'd have figured that out already, from the, uh, tone. And as you've probably also figured out, the album has been growing on me. (Do think she's something new, and not nearly as Gaga like as I suggest above -- and usually not Katy Perry like either. Just not all that dumbfounded by her newness, and as I think Frank suggested already re: the way she only parties-all-the-time some of the time, I'm a bit confused by people seeming to imply that she's just one thing.)

Inner CD sleeve picture with the Tyrannosaurus and manatees and cheetahs and space penguins surrounding her looks really awesome, btw. Also didn't notice until I finally opened the booklet yesterday that part of the album -- "D.I.N.O." and partly "Hungover" at least -- was recorded with Max Martin in Stockholm rather than just Luke (and others) in L.A. Haven't studied the credits in detail yet, though. (Not sure I will).

And oh yeah, my wife (who didn't like the album much at all when we were playing it in the car yesterday) also pointed out that "Back$tabber" stands out by being in a minor key.
