Sounds like a counter-culture theme song. Getting away with it all messed up. ..... This must be one helluva live party band. |

That's a lesson. What sounds pretentious was really out of context funny. Gotta hate the sound bite monsters. Not fair to the speakers... Yeah, that's real "chaos"  |

...read the critics first - before writing this!
After the first 10-20 seconds I thought:" oooh, who's that?"
Then I checked and wondered it was "JAMES".
I knew the name of the band
of course, but not their music!
I liked this first 10-20 seconds - have to admit that!
(but have to insist it was just that - 20 sec. max).
Then I read the critics, while the song was continuing!
And yes, soon had to agree that it was just a silly little song!
I give it a 3, though!
And that means,
"No, James, I did not let you get away with it!"
You really have to hear more of their stuff. Laid and Ball of Frustration are two of my favorite songs EVER. |

That my friend is impossible, it either sounds British or it doesn't. I for one love British bands, especially Elbow now! |
