I think he gave in far too quickly and easily to "make a pop album" -- sounds like he took notes while listening to a few Depeche/Moroder records and presto, he's got a pop record... As for the vocals, I think he could've done much better too. At his best Ricky Aloof sounds like a second-rate Jason Pierce (Spiritualized), at his worst he sounds like a fourth-rate Horace Andy.
