the Robyn poll

Message Bookmarked

Robyn received positive reviews from pop music critics. In a review for Allmusic, John Lucas called Robyn "one of the finest pop albums of the decade". Stylus Magazine reviewer Jessica Popper wrote that the album "manages to combine several of the currently popular music genres whilst still making a perfect pop album. It's one of the few Europop albums that not only deserves worldwide domination, but also has a really good chance of achieving it". Jaime Gill of Yahoo! Music described the album as "playful, self-effacing and sassy, and very very female" and named "Be Mine!" as its best song.

In a review for the Manchester Evening News, Paul Taylor described the album as "undeniably sexy" and called Robyn "a mini-Madonna in the making". Larissa Dubecki of The Age wrote that the album is "bursting at the seams with breezy, three-minute confections", but describe songs such as "Robotboy" as "embarrassing". Pitchfork Media reviewer Jess Harvell wrote that Robyn's "pop fun is a bit knowing--she's 26 after all. But trust the Swedes. They know what they're doing with this sort of thing." The website also named Robyn one of the best albums of 2005.

should i do a second poll to include all that extra stuff that has come out since this albums release? including those remixed songs (2007/2008 mixes), those brand new songs and The Rakamonie EP?

There have been so many remixes I'm not really sure which album had which. "Bum Like You" is probably my most played of hers, but I think the version I listen to (the more electro one) is from the intl album?

Same with "Be Mine," which one is here? The one that sounds like the single version?

that is correct, the original is a lot slower.

Same with "Be Mine," which one is here? The one that sounds like the single version?

the original is pretty fast, so i think you have the correct one here as well.
