This is not only one of the WORST albums of recent times, but clearly also one of the WORST bands to secure a record deal so far in the 21st century. The word 'worst' is perhaps overused in reviews, but I want to emphasise it here, I'm not lying when I say that this is the worst album I've heard this century.
I have a reputation for having a pretentious music taste, but I still keep up with the flood of generic indie bands that graces the radio in Britain. 'Scouting for girls' are the only one I can ever remember inciting feelings of raw rage and anger because of their lacklustre sound and completely bland and uninspired lyrics. Even my dad, a Phil Collins fan, pointed this out. Let's take a look at how he came to the conclusion by analysing the lyrics to their last two singles:
Song: She's so lovely
Lyrics: "She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so loverrrly"
Song: Elvis Aint Dead
Lyrics: "Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead, coz I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead, coz I heard him on the Radio.
I mean I know it's easter and all but I have to take his name in vain - Jesus Christ. If you really like this band and if you've ever made a conscious effort to listen to (or even BUY!!) one of their albums/songs, then you are a horrible horrible person and an insult to the entire sense of hearing. In fact you're probably deaf and your ears are rotten nubs of dead flesh.
I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to thrill.
I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to kill.
I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to thrill.
I've a license, I've a license, I've a license to kill.
and their song Keep on walking:
I keep on walking til the sun comes up.
I keep on walking til the sun comes up.
I keep on walking til the sun comes up.
I keep on walking til the sun comes up.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
I do love, she does heartbreak.
I did love, till she broke my heart.
and 'It's not about you':
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got nothing to say
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got(nothing to say)
and 'It's not about you'
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got nothing to say
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got(nothing to say)
and 'It's not about you'
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got nothing to say
I guess we got, i guess we got
i guess we got(nothing to say)
Thanks for the lyrical reminders, who said repetition was the best form of learning, I make anactive attempt to forget this vapid tripe. Truly music for the unevolved!

I wish I could vote for this review twice.
