Comment:
Contemporary music for contemporary kids with contemporary drugs.I'd like to emphasize a different sub catergory of music with each installment of Pop Automatic. This time I went with precocious indie dance pop.
Transition wise, I like how "Graveyard Girl" barrels in right after "Feel The Love" and how the school yard chatter at the end of "Graveyard Girl" inverts to the more atoneal schoolyard chatter that opens "Shove It". Even though Volume One is consice, I find it well sequenced, maybe historians will discover it in a time capsule two thousand years from now and be able to determine the exact year the dance rock renaissance of 2005 fully migrated from Gang of Four to New Order. Or maybe people won't care about such things two thousand years from now.
The sleve is a video game patern I found on the interwebs that I did a little doctorin' to. I think it's fairly apropriate, given the content.

Feedback:
looking forward to vol. two.
