Lambert delivers glam revival

After what’s become an infamous performance at the American Music Awards, one might be asking — what about the music?

Fortunately, unlike his performances, Adam Lambert’s debut shouldn’t be offending any listeners. This fourteen track disc is packed with something for just about everyone.

Glambert, as some call him, finds a sweet spot in an area between Queen and Christina Aguilera; between glam-rock and pop. One minute we find Lambert on the dance floor, and the next we find him on the stage. Luckily, the switch from stomping rocker to atmospheric ballad actually works.

Some songs are better than others, such as the title track and the Lady-Gaga-penned, “Fever.” The album’s only major fault is that it begins to lag towards the end, slowed down by a string of ballads.

Lambert’s theatrical persona is evident throughout, and that isn’t a problem. In fact it’s the diamond-studded chain holding this album together.
