I’ve heard worse things — the death rattle of a close relative, for example: Kylie’s Disco reviewed

Luckily — luckily, luckily, luckily — this is a lot better than her previous effort, Golden

Uh-oh. Might have to be careful here, pull my punches a little bit. The editor is a big fan of the caterwauling Aussie. We have enormous editorial freedom at The Spectator, but one needs to exercise a little discretion. Last time I reviewed a Kylie album he was very kind about my writing, but I could see a deep sadness in his eyes. He also adores Mariah Carey. Conservatives are weird about music.

Luckily — luckily, luckily, luckily — this is a lot better than her previous effort, Golden, which had been an attempt at a country album. She was about as believable a country singer as, I dunno, Sir Patrick Vallance or Fiona Bruce.
