i have the Deluxe Edition of course with the cover that moves loves it!

personally, i feel like this is Blackout all over again! underrated and underappreciated and underselling due to lack of promo!

very ambitious and fantastic album that shows just why Pop music is so fantastic than a lot of generic turd that seems to be selling atm! (Bruno Mars and Cee Lo Green are the only ones worthy from the past few months really!)

alongside Janelle Monae, The XX and Groillaz and Robyn's albums Bionic is up there with the best this year!

but the most underrated album for sure! just wish there were more promo for it

and yes we should all team up haha!

Awww lucky you! So it's worth it then?! Lol! Did you get the free poster with it too??? What's it like???

Ahhh I love 'Blackout'! But I would say personally that 'Blackout' was bigger than 'Bionic' is, yeah???

Yay for teaming up lol!

Please can I ask your opinion on Lady GaGa & Katy Perry??? I'm a massive GaGa fan but Katy isn't really my cup of tea (no offence to any of her fans though!)

i didnt get the poster with it no just the hologram cover and the booklet and disc of masterpieces - Monday Morning, Bobblehead, Birds Of Prey, Stronger Than Ever and I Am (Stripped) (seriously why weren't they on the standard release?!?!?! they would be HUGE live!)

and i agree about Blackout, in a sense Blackout was created to reflect Brit's state of mind and genuinity in her direction musically and on the contrary Christina has had the past 3 years or so of planning Bionic's overall direction which shows a difference, and Blackout has grown more and more timeless and something of a cult classic really, whereas Bionic hasn't recieved the amount of promotion and has disappointed commercially and also the singles chosen (despite fantastic) were actually poor choices for this stage. And constant delays from Summer 2009 to November 2009 and finally to June 2010 etc. didn't help and the management replacing some songs with newly recorded ones (Not Myself Tonight, Woohoo, I Hate Boys, Desnudate and Vanity i think, but i love them!!!) but would have loved if Monday Morning, Bobble head, Stronger Than Ever, Birds Of Prey, Little Dreamer, her cover of Ladyhawke's My Delirium and a few other speculated songs recorded with Le Tigre, Ladytron,Sia and Linda Perry

I actually wish that Bionic was one huge 2CD album like Back To Basics was actually! as it was speculated to be called Light & Darkness too or something, also i think it was headed to be very Velvet Underground/Madonna's Erotica era/ Electronica (think Bjork) style in the sense of exploration and artistic style, i also heard she wanted it to be a very pop art meets Andy Warhol style album with her love of her life, her artistry and that vibrant scenery of Tokyo or something along those lines in a 2008 interview when Keeps Getting Better was released.

I feel if promoted differently then Bionic would have reflected this, the album inlay is quite pop art etc. and some of the style is rather (pun intended) Glam and retro in style and very 80's Electronic/New Wave meets contemporary Pop.

The Gaga comparisons didn't help either unfortunately and NMT's video was so very amateur and cheapened! it didn't help, there was NO airplay over here or promo and the album hasn't been picked off its feet yet

my opinion on Gaga is very mixed, at times i think she is very forced and contrived and sometimes i find myself going...actually i agree, maybe i like what she stands for but hate what she does or something, also i have gone off th Fame/Monster album :S i just don't feel it anymore.

Katy Perry for me is just fun! i can have her on the background and as something of a soundtrack and not get bored but sometimes she is a bit of a hypocrite lol.

so yeah not a fan of either of them really but i don't hate 'em.

Thank you for letting me know your opinion. Sorry to hear that the 'Fame/Monster' album isn't your thing now. I love GaGa...Katy isn't really my cup of tea though.
