Nothing to see here.

Carl Barât and the Jackals - Let It Reign

1 Stars

‘Let It Reign’ is as workaday as they come.

Well intentioned, but it also happens to be incredibly annoying.

Is this a joke?

Air Traffic - Fractured Life

1 Stars

Good Charlotte - Good Morning Revival

1 Stars

The name of the game appears to be something akin to writing dreadful songs.

19th March 2007

The Aliens - Astronomy For Dogs

1 Stars

Surely Johnny Rotten fought the punk wars to get rid of this mindset of flabby nostalgia and psychedelic dinosaur rock?

19th March 2007

30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie

1 Stars

‘A Beautiful Lie’ is such overproduced cack that even a Fall Out Boy fan would balk at it.
