I finally bought Robbie’s newest album, Rudebox, last night. It came out on Wednesday 25th (at least in Finland) but I couldn’t find the CD+DVD special edition in the two supermarkets that are close to work. On my way to a friend on Friday I finally went to a music store that had advertised the special edition plus a badge. Well, I never thought there’d be any badges left but I got one!<\/p>\n

\"Rudebox<\/p>\n

Had a bit of a “scare” when I thought I was starting to listen to the audio CD on the computer but no program was able to recognise the audio tracks. They started playing the DVD instead. I had taken a white disc from the slot with the booklet so I assumed it was the CD part. Well, no. The black one was the CD. I should’ve thought of checking the CD\/DVD labels on the discs before freaking out.<\/p>\n

It’s too early to love or hate the songs. I was too hasty to judge Tripping the last time so now I’ve learned from that mistake. I do know that Bongo Bong is wonderfully bouncy, and the two singles, Rudebox and Lovelight are alright, too. As a whole, the songs feel a bit too electronic to my taste.<\/p>\n

Another bafflement is with the CD box. It’s noticeably wider than a regular CD. How am I supposed to store it?<\/p>\n

\"Rudebox<\/p>\n

(‘Scuse the blurriness, it’s difficult to balance one hand while crouching down and holding the CD with the other hand… And my hands aren’t very steady anyway.)<\/p>\n

Intensive Care (previous album) has a paperboard wrapper around it and because of that I can’t fit it in the CD tower either. I suppose I need a separate box for Robbie CDs. Doesn’t matter though because my CD tower is flooding as it is. Could the next album be accompanied by a life-size cardboard Robbie, please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
