Title: Thurston Moore, what were you thinking?
Review: Angsty college rock revivalists Black Helicopter turn back the dial about 20 years and do it up Buffalo Tom meets Dinosaur Jr. style on their disappointingly uneven debut Invisible Jet. Featuring members from since defunct but relatively well regarded Boston based groups Kudgel and Green Magnet School, Black Helicopter have played with the likes of Sonic Youth, Shellac, and Mission of Burma. And yet, paradoxically, despite their impressive resume, Black Helicopter stands out as anything but. The phenomenally derivative and incredibly trite Invisible Jet is about as profound as a 13 year old girl's diary and equally as relevant. In all a less than mediocre record from a band that had the potential to produce something fantastic. Ultimately, however, they end up sounding like less than the sum of their influences. (For what it's worth, `Head of Steam' is an awesome song... play it, everything else... not so much).
