Finally got de-perched in the UK this weekend…

Zach Lyon: I tried hard as I could to like this because these dumb boobs are opening for Ke$ha. Someone must not’ve remembered that there’s a spectrum of quality for everything, goddammit.

Anthony Easton: All of the assholes who bought Das Racist are responsible for the fact that people are doing cocaine to this unironically — sort of like this Onion article.

Alfred Soto: Dance-a-rama should never be mindless, especially when it’s sonically updating “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.”

Jer Fairall: What hath will.i.am wrought?

Alex Ostroff: If nobody has decided this already, I suggest that we dub the current crop of dance-rap infiltrating the charts “Frat House”. Boorish, drunk, and incredible dense, “Party Rock Anthem” is designed for those who thought that David Guetta, the Black Eyed Peas and Far East Movement were far too complex. Vocals and rapping that define mediocrity expressing mindless platitudes over cookie cutter rave synths dialed up to obnoxious. There’s a vaguely interesting glitch breakdown, but I’m almost positive it’s lifted wholesale from a song I can’t quite remember.

Jonathan Bogart: I bet this is really unbearable for some people. For me? It’d be terrible if I didn’t respond lizard-brain to the opening synth-riff borrowed from “Dynamite,” “California Gurls,” “We R Who We R,” and “Yeah 3x.” And the old blues dude (ha ha) going “Everyday I’m shuffling.”

Asher Steinberg: It’s amazing how the original is just the odious latest from a couple of clubtrash douchebags, but the remix by G-Unit seventh-stringer Hot Rod, with just a few tweaks, manages to be the novelty record of the year.

Katherine St Asaph: Party in the numerator, rock in the denominator, canceling each other out.
