What a wacky review from Brian Mansfield. Did he like it? I am really not sure!! I mean, is the good or bad?
Sounds to me like he thinks it is an album that fans will embrace but may not move beyond Adam's fanbase.
"The big question for Trespassing is, though, is this: Can it win Adam new followers from the dance scene? So far, radio -- especially the Top 40 format -- hasn't embraced the Trespassing singles the way it did Whataya Want From Me. These days, the Top 40 dancefloor is crowded with the likes of Rihanna, Pitbull and Calvin Harris. EDM has had only limited success over the airwaves, so if Adam expands his audience with Trespassing, it may be more of an underground, word-of-mouth movement.
Whatever happens there, Adam knows the audience he already has, and, with Trespassing, he gives it an album that will both challenge and satisfy."
The above quote strikes me as a bit odd because BTIKM was hardly a dance track and NCOE hasn't gone for adds yet.
But when I read descriptions like this......
Pop That Lock (Robert Marvin, Adam Lambert, Lesley Roy, Nate Campany, Josh Crosby). What was it Dr. Frank-N-Furter sang near the end of The Rocky Horror Picture Show? "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure/The warm waters of sins of the flesh/Erotic nightmares beyond any measure and sensual daydreams to treasure forever/Can't you see it?/Don't dream it, be it." Transform that sentiment into a celebratory post-modern electro-jam, and it's this song.
All I can think is that the album is "too gay for Brian".
But since I love Rocky Horror, I am going to take the above description as a compliment!!
Coming from him,I think he likes it.. also he's putting it to radio
