Title: highly evolved? highly overrated!!
Review: So many good Australian bands around. You Am I, Grinspoon, Jebediah, The Living End, Powderfinger just to name a few. Why does the world pick The Vines to love? After hearing "Get Free" & "Highly Evolved" I don't blame the world for going nuts! These two songs are really good and I love them. But after getting the album, I soon came to realise that "Highly Evolved" really had nothing else. The other songs were OK, but sound weak & bland compared to the first two singles.And then I saw these guys live at the big day out 2003 (large australian music festival). Oh my god! the vines were absolutly terrible! They sounded weak and were easily the worst band of the day. They seriously need to work on their live performance. And whats the deal with Craig Nicolls accent? as an australian I find this quite insulting. That guy is a wanker. Listen to some real music.
Is the review positive or negative?
