kkJun 7, 2008Overrated!

Y'allBuyDevilBlood?May 5, 2008Konichiwa Bitches is fantastic. One of my favorite songs. Unfortunately, the rest of the album sucks.

SteveOMay 31, 2008Are you guys kidding me? the first time i think i saw her or heard of her was on letterman and she absolutely positively sucked... so either this is completely overatted, or she sucks. I think its a combination of both.

EinarJ.Aug 14, 2008really overrated, and very arrogant, boring, self-important lyrics. Some good songs, check it out.

EricBMay 7, 2008Great songs from start to finish, it's one song that i skip, but it isn't really bad TBH. Lyrics are on point and I don't like it when a popsinger raps about a serious matter. Robyn choosed to rap, but rapped in a funny way. 10/10

MarioVMay 29, 2008Really the best pop album of the last 20 years. It's Robyn's "Like a prayer". Definitely worth the wait. I guess this is what happens when musicians care more about artistry than money.

JonRMay 5, 2008This is the best pop album of the 2000s. Seriously. Every song could be a single. Every ballad is heartbreaking. Every uptempo jam kills. If you are a fan of pop music, this is the must have album of 2008.

RAIOct 30, 2008One of the best albums of the year. I believe some of the best track were not even released as singles!!!
-
-
DuderonomyJonesApr 30, 2008Totally lives up to the hype and well worth the wait for the domestic release. I'd heard several cuts on YouTube and other places, but was still shocked how consistently strong the whole CD is. Not a clunker in the bunch.

ZainMay 1, 2008One the best albums ever! AMAZING album!!!

yoriDd.May 4, 2008flawless EVERY single song on this album is g.r.e.a.t! saw her live and show just matched the energy and quality her videos for this album are gems as well FEROCIOUS!!!! :)

LukeS.May 6, 2008This is a good album, no real dissapointments. The songs are very different from one another, Eclipse is a slow acoustic ballad, while anytime you like is a electro ballad. Should have known is a 80's RnB song, while Be mine! is a 80's pop song, and so on and on. This is a eclectic album for eclectic minds. Lyrics are on point as well, ranging from silly towitty to serious.

StangoniJun 13, 2008These guys are all right. If you don't like this album it's 'cause you don't like pop. I know it sounds arrogant, but this album is so well done, Juicy Pop.
-
-
GillesB.Jun 18, 2008Good songs (I especially enjoy 'every heartbeat'...) but let's not exaggerate: it's FAR from being one of the best record of the year!
-
-
GumJun 7, 2008Brilliant! Robyn has evolved into one of the most interesting artists of the decade.
-
-
JodieB.Jul 24, 2008Very catchy tunes.
-
-
Bonnie&ClydeAug 20, 2008Nothing new. Good sound and pretty solid pop, that far goes Robyn. The rest is over used old pop structure, lack of actitud and easy lyrics. Might have been a good cd for the 90s but for 2008 is nice but weak.

SimonC.May 12, 2008A perfect pop album. Amazingly creative and rich. Poetic, witty, funny. A smash. Robyn is a complete artist. Superior.

LudvigH.May 14, 2008I've been listening to this album since it release in Sweden, 2005, and I'm still not tired of it. My favourite is Handle me. Love it!

BTAMay 15, 2008robyn has brought it. for real. this is seriously the best album i've heard all year, and i expect it will keep that status for the rest of the year as well. i think it speaks to robyn's creativity, musical abilities, and long-lasting appeal that she wrote this album more than 3 years ago, and it still is the newest/best sound out there in pop.

-
Josh?May 18, 2008A breath of fresh air! It has completely taken over my Ipod. This is how pop music should be done. Look out for Bum Like You, Who's That Girl & Dream On. Huge Highlights!
-
-
DeboA.May 26, 2008Pop perfection! I never thought I would here something so future-forward and fantastic in my lifetime! It's in my top 2 so far this year!!
-
-
DZATXMay 27, 2008Just as devastating as it was three years ago, Robyn's new album is one of the strongest pop of the last half of the 2000's.
-
-
AdamN.May 27, 2008One of the best pop albums you're likely to hear for quite a while--because it doesn't get lost in itself, take itself too seriously, or throw in "filler"--as most albums these days do. Robyn allows each track to shine on its own, and none disappoints!

-
RepoMay 3, 2008I usually don't listen to this kind of music. But this is too good to be missed out. And you'll notice here & there she sings like Kate Bush. So fresh. Bravo.

PiotrRJul 7, 2008This is absolutely brilliant electropop. Love it.

ChristosM.Mar 5, 2009Yes she has grown with Abba,but there are sick beats here and electronic production that begs for international praise.Not everything is good but it's much better than the average pop album of the 00's
-
-
EricM.Nov 25, 2008Listened to this twice and have not picked it up since. Dull, dull, dull minus a few passable tracks. What the hell is the big deal? Don't waste your money.
-
-
ClifNov 6, 2008It's really fresh! Amazing! I had lost faith in pure Pop (even if I am not and had never been a great Pop fan), but artists like her or Madonna make great Pop music! Not 10 because of 1 or 2 songs that are kitsch. The rest is very impressive and unexpected!

Sep 22, 2010Excellent album. THe songs are great and keep you dancing. I have all of robyn's albums and let me tell you...this one brings it home. Check it out if you wanna dance
-
Apr 21, 2011Definitely a fresh breath of air in pop music. Robyn is a true artist, not your typical manufactured pop dancing machine. She proves indubitably that pop music can have soul, too.
-
Jan 21, 2015Love the album. Robyn is one of these singers that cares more about the music than fame, money etc. In her songs you can feel the effort she puts into creating them.

Nov 3, 2020This self-titled album represents a huge change in Robyn's career, enough to many of her fans calling it her first record and what Robyn really is. And when we listen to it, album really shows why it is her signature record; alternative electro production, interesting lyrics, and so much emotions and creativity.. All for what Robyn is known for and what makes her an electropop legend.
Awards & Rankings

Robyn defines what she's all about. Even if it took a few years to put together the label and album (and a few more to get it released everywhere), this is the pop tour de force that Robyn has always had in her.
-
The hooks come off-kilter and all killer.
-
A record to throw yourself into with the same glee Robyn clearly has.
