Title: These "Boys" still have a lot of growing to do
Review: If someone had told me 10 years ago that Girls Against Boys would still be playing today such minor-league Manhattan clubs as the Mercury Lounge and Brownies, I would have called them crazy. I was sure these guys were going to make it big. But I've grown up, and most things around me have changed. Except, apparently, GVSB. Now when I listen to some of my old GVSB recordings, my adolescent bad taste embarrasses me. Yet here we have another GSVB CD, one that sounds exactly like the stuff they put out way back when, just as monotonous and just as adolescent. Maybe the fact that their music hasn't evolved has a lot to do with the fact they went nowhere and that their one mainstream recording a few years ago flopped so badly. Only singer Scott McCloud sounds like he has any energy left. The rest of the group just seems to be going though the motions. This CD is a complete fiasco. Sadly, it seems, these "Boys" are never going to be Men.
Is the review positive or negative?
