The corny electronic music is alright for disposable whatever but who the **** is that singer? You? Your friend Jeff from down the way who you met in high school cause he had a Cure t-shirt? He sounds like he really likes Depeche Mode and could capture second place in a karaoke competition but he has zero personality or emotional depth. Were you too nice to tell him that it's just not working out and you need someone with "talent" cause you didn't want to contribute to his self-harm? This album wouldn't be so awful without him but he really calls attention to the bald amateurishness of this release and makes the music sound even more uninspired. I guess it was a good attempt to cover his lack of charisma by using the occasional vocoder effect but holy **** was it misguided. Maybe this is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek but there's a very fine line between that and ****ing retarded. Guess which side you drunkenly stumbled over.
Parts of this album also reminds me of Radiohead at their most indistinct and that vocalist proves himself to be even less suited to the task, making it sound like some terrible side project of a 90s Midwest emo band that proved once and for all that the people involved in the movement were good for nothing but being boring teenagers with nothing to say about anything besides how much high school made them sad.
