Okay, I'm going to take a minute to reluctantly spill some true tea.
Time Machine isn't that much of a departure from other songs that Martin and Luke have produced, Britney Spears' material being a prime example. Dr. Luke and Max Martin are tremendously talented producers that have acquired a precise sense of what the public wants over the course of the past decade. In all honesty, regardless of whether or not the artists they write songs for are taken seriously as artists, almost all of their songs are well-reviewed. I don't think they redeemed themselves artistically with Time Machine. They've always been revered in the production world.
Robyn, though praised to death by the indie world, is a product of many of the same producers that have proven pivotal to all the other pop artists we're familiar with, from Katy Perry to Britney Spears to Kylie Minogue. I'm not saying that she plays no role. I guess my point is that Max Martin and Dr. Luke's "art" is making brilliant pop music, of which a huge number of songs over the course of the past decade qualify for, not just Time Machine because it was on an album that was universally praised by the indie world.
