Haha! I've spent way too long this morning trying to analyze this review. Keeping in mind that I am not necessarily great at literary analysis, I don't think is is necessarily a negative review. He compares his appearance to someone described as "raffish," which can be defined as looking somewhat disreputable or disheveled but in an attractive way. I would have to agree with this and would venture to say that's the look Adam was going for. His description of NE as being a "streamlined strut" doesn't sound negative at all to me, and, as for the 7th Cavalry reference, I'm taking it to mean simply that Adam has diverged from his former musical style and is reemerging armed for a new battle. I definitely fault the reviewer for trying to sound witty to the extent that the review itself is unclear, but even more for the fact that he fails to really tell the reader what he thinks of the song. Maybe like for many of us his jury is out until he listens a few more times? He says that these physical and musical changes were "unexpected," which is obviously exactly what Adam wanted. He thrives on growth through change and vice versa and began his public career on Idol wowing his audiences with unexpected song and apparel choices. I feel like the reviewer was just taken aback by the directional changes and certainly doesn't commit to publicizing an actual opinion if he truly has one. I feel this song is a bit like when Adam did "Ring of Fire" on Idol. It was such a divergence from what was expected and the judge's reviews ranged from Simon thinking it was hideous to Kara being confused to Paula and Randy thinking it was genius. The more I listen, the more genius I think NE is. I think the reviewer might just be feeling like Kara. You definitely gave the review more thought than I did. Trying to translate his, to me, obscure references was a bit too much for me. You were much kinder to him and his lack of an understandable review. I appreciate your thoughtful analysis. Lol, thanks! I'm probably way off base in my analyses, but it helped me avoid housecleaning, anyway!

"..Adam Lambert trails his fourth studio album with its lead single New Eyes."

Since there was some talk about Rocketman: Talon Edgarton plays Elton and you can call full circles with him too...He sang 'your song' for an Audition, sang 'im still standing' im the movie "sing" and now plays Elton, where He sings all the Songs.. Also as a few of you are Beatles fans i hope you saw this...i enjoyed it youtu.be/QjvzCTqkBDQ

The soundtrack on the MV no longer sounds slurred to me... is it my ears? Or was it changed? I feel stupid asking this as I understand it might be I am just familiar with the lyrics... nevertheless it sounds very different to me as compared to yesterday... I am puzzled... Just experimented with video i had listened a lot but the words weren’t obvious and I didn’t concentrate on them - still haven’t read the written lyrics. Just played it again for first time today - and could make out the words quite clearly! Thank you for checking out, Sophie. I feel not as crazy at the moment. Anybody else?

Wow teri63 When I read your post I knew I had to respond. I have been very quiet about this release. Like most of you, I heard it at midnight on the 15th - way too late for me after a stressful day. Literally, (and this is why teri63 post got to me) I responded like Simon did to Ring of Fire. Instead of "what the hell was that", I thought "what the fuck was that". I had old eyes and old ears and almost cried. But a voice inside me said "Trust a bitch" and I let go and went to sleep.
I woke up with the realization that it WAS Ring of Fire in another incarnation. The same genius, the same shock, the same transformative energy, the same opening our minds, ears and eyes to other possibilties. And like Ring of Fire put Adam on the map (not that he isn't now - analogies do fail at some point) NE might put him on the radio map as it is genius in so many ways including crossing genres.
I love that there is no lid on his creativity. I remember early in some interview he talked about wanting to have a total conception of a project on all levels. And I rememeber after Black and White, Paula's comment on how he was the total package well thought through down to the fashion etc.
So the lesson is, as always, Trust a Bitch.

"Fall into Lambert’s slow funk jam for his entrancing voice and stay for the irresistible instrumentals. He’s got the groove and then some, plus with an edge that only his dangerous style could add, this single is proof that he’s not going away anytime soon."
