What's it going to be then, eh?

Ok, before I begin tonight's rant, there are some serious revisions necessary to last night's review of Hey There Bomb.
1) It's actually Last drag with the slow bluesy intro, track three, not track 2 at all. Just switch my comments over about those last two.
2) More importantly upon review I have decided this album is a complete rip off. Every mood, every moment is reminiscent of another, better song, except for Hey There Bomb. I guarentee it is like listening to a really good cover band. And they come from really odd places. Track 2 intro sounds EXACTLY like a weird al yankovic song with serious lyrics. Even the vocals are similar to his in their tone and pitch. It's sooooo been done. The rest of that song sounds like Jet. exact copy. Now the intro to track three is basic keyboard jazz riff. It's so cliched. However, the rest of this song is just Hard Act To Follow with different words. It would be absolutely fantastic if only Grinspoon hadn't beaten them to it. Then there's princess pie, best sing along song ever written but it seems to be that way becuase it's lifted from another song i can't quite put my finger on. The verses sound like guns n roses and then the chorus of ba ya baabaa badaa bah bin you sounds fantastic but like a broadway musical dance number. And finally track 5. I can't belive i didn't pick this up before. IT IS AN EXACT RIP OFF OF YELLOW LEDBETTER. 67 have clearly been listening to too much eddie vedder. The exact tone and style of the into guitar is replecated, i think in the same key, the second guitar comes in exactly the same, even on the same chord, the drum beat is identical, with exact copied style. We even get drawled vocals for the verse. All it needs is the words 'make me cry' before the solo and it could be on Lost Dogs. for shame.

So i've had a good day. I just finally finished my history research essay and i had a 5 hour rehearsal. now it is raining but i aint sad.
Its actually really funny because our dog is a bit of a moron, and he tends to run around in the rain and then jump on my sister which disgusts her to no end. i like it.

I might write more later, depending on inspiration. <3
