Bionic was a mess, Head First wasn't anything like it in any way.

i have all the goldfrapp albums on cd. I also tracked down alot of their remixes etc. They are a brilliant combo & if asked would highly recommend to check out. Support them they deserve it. Amazon

As a big fan of 'alternative' pop, Black Cherry and Supernature are my favourite Goldfrapp albums. I loved Head First for the first few months but it wore off after a while for me. They're such a great band anyhow

Felt Mountain and Black Cherry: truly fantastic...the others are not that bad either..

Felt Mountain is one of the best albums of its
period, and Black Cherry is superb. The other
albums have their strong points but Goldfrapp's
first two ones are their best IMO.

felt mountain > black cherry > seventh tree > supernature > head first is probably how i would rank the albums, saying that though, i really quite enjoy head first so...

I like a lot of their singles but have never actually listened to a full album before. I know it's all down to personal opinion but which would people say is their best overall? Thanks
If u like the singles the albums will blow yer mind! The great thing bout Goldfrapp is they are consistent. No fillers on the albums, sure everyone has their favs but the albums are solid. I don't part wi my money lightly

The only band from the 90s/00's to produce one stunning album after the other. And also to use each album as a platform to try out different production styles without ever sounding cliched/corny.

Great songwriting/great lyrics/loadsa pop hooks & Alison looks cool as fcuk!

What more can a pop fan want?!

Theres afew naysayers regarding Head First, but, personally, I think its amazing. Its also their 'sunniest'/feelgood album of the bunch.

Have fun discovering this group to the Op.

I'm slowly working my way through the albums on spotify. I have to say I really like Head First, I think that's the first one i'll get.

I like Head First, but it's too short for the type of album it is and they released probably the worst songs as second and third singles. Dreaming and I Wanna Life would have made better singles imo. The album was also rushed along by the label, if they let the pair do their thing in the studio a little longer I think this album could have been so much bigger and better.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what they come out with next though
