Boys And Girls in America

Mmmmm.....is this from 2006 or 1986? It's quite bland and derivative. I think the issue is around the 'cult of the new'. You get into a trendy band that spreads via social media withouth realising they sound identical to other bands and singers from decades before. Not to say it's bad. Just unoriginal.

This album sounds like it's violently fighting against every interesting idea that pops into its head.

Paint-by-numbers, boring rock for paint-by-numbers, boring people who've not heard enough music to actually know what's good out there. Guy who recommended this, how's much cheap beer do you consume in a given week?

There were times when it sounded like Bruce Springsteen but in indie music fashion. None of that is a good thing. Thankfully, it was short.
