It's none of those, actually it's The Virgin Queen!

...The computer drums do work on Machine and Dance Anthem, though considering the subtext of both these songs. On BTH, the computer drums are way more subtle, and are only really dominant in two or three songs. They don't really get in the way as they do on certain Far tracks. To be honest, I think BTH was a stronger album production-wise, though some of the songs on Far are stronger than those on BTH.

Haha, I love that word, it's one of the funniest insults ever. My favorite cuss expression in Spanish is "Me cago en la leche" which literally means "I shit on the milk". You use it when you're angry about something.

Her voice has definitely become crisper and clearer, probably as a result of having quit smoking.

The new song is awesome.

The song sounds like it's been grated through Microsoft Songsmith, it's just so cheesy! Maybe if they had used real drums instead of fake computer drums, it would sound better (like on recent live versions)

You really have to consider the source I guess. Just one extra reason for me not to listen to Fall Out Boy ever.. Emo crap like FOB makes ME want to shove pencils in my ears. Seriously, Regina has a thousand times more talent than the member of every stupid emo band combined.

The whole album is great, except for Folding Chair which was a MASSIVE disappointment, IMO. Dance Anthem, Genius, HOTY, The Wallet, MOATF, all sound awesome in my view, even OMTWF and Blue Lips sound great despite not being what I expected, but Folding Chair just sounds...wrong, for some reason.

The melody of the song is perfect!

Blur are awesome! BTW, I'm streaming her Glastonbury set right now and it's amazing, you can just tell from the audio that the crowd loved her.
