We know that Don’t Stop is the best album of the year. Obviously! But what do all the magazines and websites think?

So far the reviews have been glowingly positive which is the only reason I’m putting this up.   While Annie’s ‘rivals’ make music that sounds like their synths are being played with the lid down, Annie only makes genius pop.   So let’s proceed to Metacritic which takes all the scores from the relevant sites and combines them.

So far the score is at 81 which is filed under Universal Acclaim.   This could change but it probably won’t.  Or, to put things in perspective;  Annie’s genius debut Anniemal scored 81 when all the reviews had been compiled.

What The Critics Said About Don’t Stop

MusicOMH.com – Don’t Stop is one of the best pop albums of 2009.

The Guardian – It’s a delightful confection, filled with attention to detail and perfectly turned.

Slant Magazine – Annie deserves credit for attempting to stretch, both vocally and lyrically.

NME – A heart of glass is smashed. Or not. With a record this good, how could a boy bring her down?

Kirkland Ciccone – the best album in the history of pop music.  Annie is better than Beethoven and Bowie and Lennon and McCartney combined!

My favourite review of the lot is from Drowned In Sound.  It just sums up everything that’s relevant about the brilliance of Annie and this album.  And perhaps the problems surrounding her criminal lack of recognition.
