Title: Doesn't Live Up to the Hype
Review: This band keeps getting compared to Interpol and sometimes the Killers when really, aside from the fact that they seem to have ripped some of their songs beat by beat, they are nowhere near as successful as those other bands in their delivery! The song Munich (one which I'd associate the most with Interpol) does have a catchy hook, but the rest of the album fails to capture the same magic. I hope they continue exploring their sound and I wish them well, but as things stand, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend it. It's just not one of those albums that you can play all the way through and without skipping over some songs (like you can 'Turn on the Bright Lights' or 'Hot Fuss').Ultimately, one gets the feeling that they are just trying to cash in on the current trend in music and creating forgettable material in the process.
Is the review positive or negative?
