Is this quite good or really terrible?

Perhaps a few years ago we would have immediately labelled this 'fantastic', seen it shoot up our iTunes most played list and awaited any 'Natalia Kills' release with great anticipation. But for some reason this leaves us utterly cold. In a post-GaGa, post-Good Girl Gone Bad, post-808s and Heartbreak landscape, this just feels like another attempt at melding mainstream pop sensibilities and aesthetics with something more sinister and left-of-field. In other words another jump on the bandwagon. It's not bad, and it's already stuck in our head (usually a good sign) but with things like this we can't help but feel a bit cheap and used. Like we've already been there and swore we wouldn't go there again. Disappointed, maybe.

How do you feel about it?
