General Fiasco - Buildings (7/10)



right,i think the NME are trying to write this band off and not giving them a real chance of getting anywhere, in a recent magazine they rated this album at 3/10 which is a load of rubbish to me. This 3 piece from Belfast are having a good old go at it to be fair, yes ok, not the most original band in the world but who is nowadays...people who think there original have a very short memory.
if your looking to capture a little taste of the glory days of the view or pigeon detectives etc, then this album is just right for you. They are fresh and playing the music they love, thats obvious. They have a rocky edge to them and feature some really nice mainstream sounding melodic chorus'.
Songs 'ever so shy' & 'we are the foolish' are the single tracks... and rightfully so, they are the best tracks on the album, head and shoulders above the rest of the album.
I just get the feeling that people need to give them a chance, this band are young and writing about what they know, so why knock them? they are doing exactly what the enemy did but with less of a chip on there shoulder.... a decent pop from a bright young band...worth a purchase i think.
