Amanda Palmer’s defining characteristic is a complete lack of any talent. She can’t be bothered to learn an instrument, she can’t sing, she can’t wrench a drop of soul out of a note due to her lack of vocal timing and she can’t write a song. She is a dilettante.

There is no vision here, just a scatter-shot approach as Amanda Palmer desperately throws another piece of crap against the wall to see if anything sticks.

Amanda Palmer is not an artist. She never will be. She is nothing more than a unimaginative, racist fame-whore, sexting her nekkid ass, covered in spam for the cheapest of commodoties; a twitter following.

Oh and by the way, from an Australian who is Not That Patriotic, I generally hate Australian-themed memorabilia, and I generally dislike my own country in general, so calling Vegemite ‘our favourite food’ makes you look like an absolute moron who knows nothing about this country (And not to white knight Amanda Palmer, but her cheesy references to Vegemite shows that she actually does know this country and it’s people). There are heaps of people in Australia who don’t like Vegemite, including myself.

Please, if you’re going to review a cd or even an artist, you should be reviewing the work they do. Amanda Palmer must know she writes and works best with others, and that’s why she does it. It’s the artists that think they can stand alone and fail miserably at it that are worthy of your forked tongue.

It’s okay that you dislike Amanda Palmer, but truly, you’re insulting someone for being themselves and enjoying their life. I hope your life is just as fantastic and colourful as Amanda Palmer’s for you to be able to critique her so harshly on her personal life and decisions.

Her album is wonderful, funny, and amazing. Read her blog… She is not selfish, but she is imaginative. She sure dies speak her mind in all her albums, and in her dolls albums. There is nothing wrong with that.
Her albums reflect who she is, and how she thinks. They are her albums, so why does it surprise you people so much that she mentions herself, her life and her opinions in them?
She cannot be classed as selfish when she has written an album with funny lyrics about her in it?
Yes, some of the album is silly, she has admitted it herself, but don’t put Amanda down for it. It’s supposed to be silly. There are light hearted songs in it, and there are beautiful, serious songs.
She is a fantastic song writer who can write about anything and make it interesting and wonderful.
So if you don’t like it, the logical conclusion
would simply be; don’t listen to it.

Congratulations on being featured in Amanda Palmer’s blog.

I love how tirelessly she fights shame, enourages freedom and empowerment, yet still reveals she’s human. She’s one of the most relatable and inspiring artist’s out there. That diary-like feel to many of her songs is something I’ve admired since I first played a Doll record and fell in love.

If you find all that stuff icky or feel it doesn’t apply to you then that’s fine, but I hope she doesn’t read this review and think she must become more defensive or afraid to connect with fans.
