The reviews are in on Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines and -as can be expected, since we've heard most of what's here already- the talk is overwhelmingly positive. That's not a knock on Thicke or a claim of derivativeness, Interscope Records has been shoving the album down our throats for weeks now, making an artist with a weeks-long stint at the top of the global charts seem even more omnipresent.
