I love it. It only takes a few plays and all the tunes get stuck in the memory bank. Been listening to it for weeks now, and with every listen the songs just sound more and more lovely.
A Smokey Room is a bit spiky and annoying but apart from that, it's hard not to like everything else.
I've heard that Mr. Medicine is the next single, which I think is a great choice
Eliza makes getting tired and upset sound like an event, and being able to tell someone to Pack Up sound like an exciting development! She has the accolade of having been born on the day Kenneth Williams died.

Of course they're alike, but Eliza is far better! Greg Kurstin, who wrote and produced all of Lily Allen's album 'It's Not Me, It's You' wrote two tracks on Eliza's record. They were probably both outtakes from Lily's album re-recorded with Eliza, especially 'Nobody' which is sooo a Lily Allen song.
It's all irrelevant though because Eliza is much more talented and gorgeous to boot!
They are no where alike. The fact they both wrote with Kurstin isn't a reason to why they are alike. Eliza actually sings. Lily doesn't. Lily discusses world issues. Eliza does innocent pop songs. They don't look alike. Vocally they are no where near the same.
Linda perry writes with Pink and Xtina so Pink is deffinatley similar to Xtina. Oh and Dr luke writes with Taio Cruz and Kesha. I guess they are alike too.
Eliza needs to get on with releasing Rollerblades. The album has done great so far, but it's now slowly starting to slide towards the end of the top 10. She needs to release the next single soon to keep interest up.
These days singles need to be released in quick succession for new artists like Eliza to keep album sales consistent.
I quite like this album, I have about half of it saved on my iPod. My faves are "Pack Up", "Skinny Genes", "Police Car", "Moneybox" and "Mr. Medicine".
"Smokey Room" is one of the worst songs of all time* and I never want to hear it again.
