Negative Positive
Title: Almost famous
Review: VHS or Beta are one of those bands that could be really great, but just can't seem to get it all together to make a solid album. 4 of the tracks are wonderfully 80s inspired dance rock songs, while 3 of the 10 tracks are purely instrumental and `Forever' just sounds like a bad disco remix.Once they get their direction straight and learn how to write some catchy lyrics, they are going to be unstoppable. The Cure/ Daft Punk comparison is unavoidable, Zeke Buck does sound a lot like Robert Smith. But despite their `influences' Vhs or Beta have their own style and really don't sound like they belong in the 80s.While not all tracks are that great, the ones that are make this album worth owning.
Is the review positive or negative?
