I listen to different Top 40 music stations and I also listen to struggling singer songwriters and bands. If you listen to the choruses to "Damage" by Danity Kane and "Dangerous" by Kardinal Offishall (both on the charts right now) you can hear derivative. In my opinion, the song that you mention, "I Will Begin," is derivative only because Poppermost is paying homage to Queen, one of the greatest bands in the world. And nowhere in the album did I hear "tinny" keyboards, as you said for the song "Bitter Suite." This album is not just one sound, it is very eclectic, unlike some other artist's albums. The album as a whole is well produced, well put together, and has great musicianship. I was impressed with it. I would give it 9 out of 10. Thank you.
