American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is set to release his first full length disc, aptly titled ‘For Your Entertainment’, in less than a week. After snagging a copy early and giving it a listen, it is safe to say that this Idol? Deserves every bit of recognition and praise he has received.

FYE delivers everything that one would expect from the flashy Lambert, featuring 15 tracks including ‘Time For Miracles’, from the soundtrack of the John Cusack film 2012, and the soon to be released first single ‘For Your Entertainment’.

From snappy dance beats to power ballads worthy of 1986, this album is a breath of fresh air in a mediocre music scene over saturated with Miley Cyrus’ nasally whine and the regurgitated rap beats that frequent Top 40 radio. One might say that Adam Lambert is a one man Glam Rock revival, and while some of his songs are worthy of the Spiders From Mars, he’s just as much Arena Rock as glitter and glamor.

To put it simply: if Poison made sweet love to David Bowie? Their love child would be Adam Lambert and his opus would be ‘For Your Entertainment’. Tracks like ‘Strut’ and ‘Fever’ will make you want to dance (possibly in a sexually inappropriate way), while power ballads like ‘A Loaded Smile’ will have you whipping out your lighter faster than Bon Jovi’s ‘Bed of Roses’.

Through all 15 tracks, Lambert showcases the vocal range that made him famous, and once he has your attention? He’s not keen on letting it go, which makes this record even more riveting.

Best lyrics: We’re coming up like killing machines/Our big guns gonna shatter your scene

We are the face of the new generation/We are the ones who have no reservations

Best Tracks: Sure Fire Winners, Soaked, Strut, Master Plan

All in all? An album well worth the money. Pick it up, you’ll have no regrets!
