Album: Blackout
Of all of the great tracks on Blackout, “Toy Soldier” may have been one of the most single-ready. An upbeat dance-pop song over a constant military snare drum, you can see how Blackout laid the foundation for the rise of Lady Gaga and a song like “Poker Face.” The verses are sung in an exaggerated nasal drawl before the explosion of the chorus, complete with a spoken-word breakdown during the middle eight. If you’re looking for the most adventurous track on the album, this is not it, but it’s a slice of high-quality pop that fits nicely amongst the other greats on the album.
