Late Halloween Scare: Listen to Snippets of Adam Lambert's Upcoming Album

If Halloween didn't frighten you enough, Amazon has Adam Lambert's album preview up so you can experience a new form of horror. The lowlights are the hilariously bad "Music Again", campy "Strut", terribly cheesy Broadway sounding "Soaked", and his ridiculous sounding vocals on "Fever". Adam's voice sounds absolutely horrendous on the ballads, which are by far the weakest tracks in the previews. We can say though that the album clearly has higher production values than the standard Idol rush job. And tracks like "Sleepwalker" and "Whataya Want From Me" would blend in easily to top 40 radio (if you can consider that a compliment). But will anyone be able to look past the stupid album cover to even listen to the music? Adam better count his lucky stars that people can now download the album anonymously or he'd have negative sales the first week.

I can always count on the latest Lambert news here on VFTW! A few of these songs sound pretty good., I think I'll probably buy it. The cover won't stop me, but yeah, the more I see it the more I dislike it.

They should have called it "Shit with glitter".

From these previews, I think Adam's CD will actually be worse than I was giving him credit for. Granted my expctations were low to begin with, but he couldn't even reach them. You're right that the slower/ballad songs turned out worse than some of the more upbeat stuff, which surprises me as I thought adam would do ballads well.

Overall the whole thing sounds like an overly produced cheese fest. I'll give adam some credit and say that there were a couple of songs I felt like would fit on the radio (again I agree with you here), but these songs are on par with songs like Miley Cyrus 'Party in the USA'. Hardly the ground breaking classic rock everyone has been promising us since he won.

Waste of money.

Most of the songs sound like they're from a soundtrack from a crappy 1980's movie. Imma go ahead and call this an . Total crap. Haven't heard anything that's going to make him a "superstar".

<em>Music Again </em>sounds like something that Rick Springfield passed over for <em>Jessie's Girl</em>.

The rest of it sounds like Britney Spears' feces.

"Whataya Want From Me" sounds so mainstream, it'll be another song that everyone forgets when the next cute mainstream song hits the top 40. He sounds like Rick Springfield in Music Again, after that ear splitting shriek. The rest sounds like 80's music, the kind of 80's songs you would listen to now and think "Holy Shit, I liked this crap once?" There are, of course, fabulous 80's songs that still rock. But apparently, Adam chooses to ignore those. Adam must have had his team rummage through the $5 bargain racks at Walmart. He lifted those crappy songs and tried to pass them off as his on this album.

Making it though the (14) :30 second clips was like some kind of cruel endurance test.

There's good 80's music, there's bad 80's music. This isnt even good enough to fall somewhere in between.

It's so weird that fat women in Sparkley tanktops would be into this generic Expose-esqu disco garbage. Are they just so invested at this point that they have to pretend to like everything he does??

Big pile of steaming shit... and I'm being kind. Fever is hilariously horrible. All his ballads sound flat. The rest is just pop bubblegum junkola. Glam rock? WTF? Shittier than I ever imagined. Bargain bin here it comes.
