Best of 2000s: Goldfrapp - Supernature (4.5/5)

With their third album, Supernature, Goldfrapp broke through to mainstream success, having incorporated more pop and dance elements into their moody electronic mix. It's not a drastic departure from Black Cherry, which remains their best album, but just enough to make them more accessible. The move allowed the duo to score their first UK top 10 hits--with blasting dance number "Ooh La La" and then with mellower '80s-tinged "Number one." Despite all the upbeat moves, "Time Out from the World" finds them at their dreamy downbeat best, while "Satin Chic" shows how nicely their usual quirks can blend with a great hook.

Best: Satic Chic, Ooh La La, Time Out from the World, Ride a White Horse, You Never Know

Totally agree. Supernature is one of the best albums of the 2000s, and certainly the best Goldfrapp album to date. "Horse" never gets old!
