'A'
Better Off With Him
Label: London Records Release Date: 27/06/2005
Oh 'A', why must you stAy? Why not go AwAy and leAve us in peAce, grAnting us respite from your sAme-As-AlwAys purely throwAwAy pop-punk histrionics? Even your squeAky 'n' bouncy vocAlist, JAson, is on our side:
"You'd be better off without me."
Too true, JAson, too true. The 'Old Folks' And 'Foghorn' formulA is older thAn the hills thAt you obviously hide behind, shielding your never-chAnging wAys from contemporAry influences. Not even Deftones button-presser Terry DAte can butch this emo-ed punklite shite up into something At leAst compArAble to, sAy, Jimmy EAt World. Although, thAt wouldn't exActly be complimentAry now, would it?
Now, be good Adults And stop plAying kiddie tricks, As upper-cAsing every mention of your bAnd nAme is A more chAllenging And fulfilling pAstime thAn listening to this drivel.
