    @John__Lemon I can kind of agree with the intro here to your review/opinion of Nocturnes. Little boots just strikes me as being trendy more than a real original artist. But her music is still listenable because Little boots does have a little charisma in her personality. Not to mention that her voice is good. (has good potential to it)

    Here is my review of Nocturnes. I gave it 3/10, super disappointed with this one. It feels so underdone. Hands was a lovely record, tightly polished and endearing. Nocturnes just seems to trot out tired pop cliches over sub-par production, and the repetition is mind-numbing. I guess because she isn't signed to a major label anymore? I don't know.. Hopefully her next record is a little more promising. Review here: www.sports-report.net/benmusicblog

    I think the less-bad lyrics are in All For You. "Tell me why these illusions have a voice"

    Yeah, despite how much I love Nocturnes, the lyrics are pretty lame D: Still love it though

    @Fox_Genetrix Well I'm happy for you..that you can enjoy Little boots new album so much, over the first one. I think it's cool how Nocturnes is really different from Hands. I hope you get to see her live. :-)

    Albums like Electra Heart and Hands get old for me really quick, I just love how I can keep coming back to Nocturnes despite playing it so much.

    Idk I prefer Nocturnes, there's something about it. I never thought much of her before. It sucks seeing so many complain when I wish I could see her live :-/

    That's my point there...that Victoria would be better off just having others write lyrics for her because she's not that interesting as a songwriter, or even a composer.

    Her lyrics weren't that great on Hands either, hell she barely wrote the lyrics lol. i love nocturnes at least she had more control with it with less phantom hands putting in their corporate input.

    I'll be so embarrassed for her if she did Eurovision next year.

    For those interested in who Lise Karlsnes is..she was the talenteed lead singer of Briskeby 00-05. Here's her single Red hot.

    Nocturnes has better flow and really cool synth sounds..and her voice is lovely. However, you can just tell by her lyrics that she isn't that interesting as an artist. Instead, Victoria's lyrics just rely on very simplistic generalizations of relationships and single words repeated about dancing in the club. Kind of lame. Hell even Lise Karlsnes's "Dance or die" has more interesting lyrics and artistic expression.

    nocturnes >>> hands but Meddle is the best on debut.

    V same! I was never a huge fan of Hands, so I followed other new wave acts like La Roux and Ladyhawke. Hands is jarring between tracks, Nocturnes is cohesive and less gimmicky. Hands does have great tracks like Stuck on repeat, remedy, and no brakes

    I've heard of Little Boots in 2008. I remember that she was compared a lot with Ladyhawke and La Roux. I admit that I was disappointed with her debut album, Hands. In 2013, I listened to Nocturnes and I liked it instantly. I re-listened to her debut and I liked it too (esp. the masterpiece "Stuck on Repeat"). Four other facts made me like her a lot: 1. She has an awesome taste in music (Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, The Human League, Ladytron, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Gary Numan, Pink Floyd etc) 2. She built her own laser harp, inspired by Jarre 3. She's a big fan of synths 4. From what I've seen on some video interviews, Victoria is down to earth and charming.
