Just because something isn't pop doesn't make it deep and when ATRL learns that they will accept what the rest of the world already knows.

First of all, "Blackout" is urban pop and electropoop so, not a good point.
Secondly, unlistenable? The vocals were robotic I'll give you that, BUT it worked cause they suited the hard-hitting productions. That album was pop genius. MORE than pop genius I mean, the uppity yet seductive singing, the dark thought out beats, the lyrics carrying on a coherent thematology, being both about the media craze she was going through at the time, and sex without being too vulgar.
Other pop girls could never.
