What a terrible album. It goes nowhere and has one catchy tune. This is played on a loop in the dentist's office in Hell.

Complete and utter drivel. All they do is make some backhanded sex reference and repeat it to shitty basic music. This album is a perfect example of music made for people who barely passed high school. Just a fucking dumpster fire. The only thing worse than this album is the people who enjoy it.

This is a giant piece of shit. Courtney drones on and on and on. She should team up with Yoko Ono, they would sound great together.
This should not even be in the top 10,001 albums to listen to before you die. The next album in my queue is Rio by Duran Duran. On what planet should this album and that be on the same list? This is a crime against humanity.
