1.0 out of 5 stars ...just plain laughable..., April 3, 2008

By	OMNIGOSS (UK) - See all my reviews

...what can you expect from a band who's name was ripped off from the title of a morissey song...and a lead singer who had to go on to celebrity big brother just to get peoples attention? Yep...this is nothing beyond the unexpected...diluted urine anyone?

...it's not that they can't play their instruments beyond a fourth grade level (doubt they'll get any distinctions though) but their ideas for songs are poor and unoriginal with lyrics like "I love you/you know that don't you?/I love you" you're not going to inspire a poet to write a new sonnet from that...

...another beef I have is that over 50% of these songs are reissued from an old album...obviously the other band memebers didn't think Preston would get so much infamy from the big brother house so they didn't write enough new paper vomit...oh dear...

...now to describe their sound in ten easy steps:

1. Predictable Verse chorus.
2. Singing in fake London accent (how I don't know).
3. Shove a rapper in at one point (he stole the cookies).
4. Boring drumming and bass (hey we're followers mate leave us alone).
5. Go out with Chantelle and storm off never mind the buzzcocks (tee hee that was funny).
6. Four chords.
7. Awful ballad.
8. Claim you're indie when all you want is money.
9. Pretend you're liked by talent when you're actually a vampire.
10. Fake your own death and then say you weren't really a vampire and the killer car told you to do it.

...the last two are the most realistic but I think they all make a good point...stay away...even pop has standards does it not?
