Seven Billion Rock Bands and you choose this one?!I picked this album up as a total experiment when I saw it in a charity shop for two pounds. It was produced by Dave Jerden who did a great job with Janes Addiction and Alice in chains- so seemed like a safe bet.
The last track is great and worth my 2 quid (starts off Tubeway Army then riffs nicely) but the rest is pseudo depression music for middle class children who have no real problem beyond not being allowed to get their tongue pierced. Its like music for school kids written by the teachers.
Everything about this album is contrived. I cannot hear any self expression, art or even meaning in any of these woefully cheesy pop songs. The most annoying thing about this record is that it tries so painfully hard to be deep, heavy and modern and it is none of these things.
File under mild cheese. When you're at the bottom of that pit...This album means so much to me...you wouldn't believe. When I first picked up this CD, I was at the absolute lowest point in my life. Every song on this CD was an almost exact reflection of what I was going through at the time. At the time that I bought this CD, I knew next to nothing of Stabbing Westward or their music. I was looking for something new to listen to, and it was really cheap. I've never regreted that purchase. If you're at a really low point in your life, pick up this CD...it will be like having a friend who understands everything that you are going through...because they've been there.Most UnderratedThis Album deserves so much more air time. It doesn't get anything on any local radio stations. This music does not seem to age. Audiophiles eat your heart on this one. |
