MEDIOCRE
I'd waited sometime for this album but after several weeks of repeated listening have come to the conclusion don't believe the hype. Various pretentious online tomes like Artrocker and The Quietus are constantly pushing releases like this but sadly it is all style over substance/songwriting. Imagine a late eighties UK indie band with the electronic era Marilyn Manson type vocals/production and you can see how this one trick pony operates. Blending such genres is hardly original and that is all there is to this debut sadly.
