Ally 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I downloaded the album, its ok. A bit to Scissor Sisters for me though, and they irritate the hell out of me! Pretty catchy stuff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 See, this is what I meant by Frankenstein's Monster when people slapped me down. Not that it sounds exactly like any one of the current/recent pop crop, but that it sounds like a number of them, cut up and stitched back together. That doesn't make something original.

Shearergol 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 There's been so many groups and singers over the years that there's no such thing as original music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 There's been so many groups and singers over the years that there's no such thing as original music. OOIOO are original...and the boredoms. Shit like, but original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) There's been so many groups and singers over the years that there's no such thing as original music. Roots and influences further back than 2 years ago would be nice though, right? You're hard pressed to listen to anything in the chart currently that isn't heavily influenced by whatever sold the most 2 months ago. There's also a huge difference between being influenced by something and just aping a popular band. Edited January 25, 2007 by Patrokles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Surely the charts are a measure of quantity not quality. Anything truly innovative is unlikely to immediately appeal to the masses and therefore unlikely to trouble the 'hit parade'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a fair point, though I think conditioning from the radio also has a part to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 there must be some serious record company money behind Mika - the bugger is everywhere right now - but, as we've seen before, the talentless crash and burn quite quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a while, it's a grower in my opinion, but then so was Silent Alarm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1205 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The song gets on my tits I have to say. It's typical of the radio 1 "ooh isn't so original" brigade when it's not really original at all. Sounds like the fucking Darkness and Scissor Sisters love child tbh. The new Bloc Party album is fairly shite too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Alarm was an instant hit with me, then again, I bought around the same time I saw them live, so perhaps that was a reason why. I'll give this one a chance anyway.
