Nice artwork. But what does 'Go For Blue' sound like? Like smiling, 27-year-old kids with lots of Friends and an excellent new pay-as-you-go tariff. Like playful cars playing hide and seek. Like gurning oafs with edgy haircuts; stiff nipples poking through "rock n roll '77!" t-shirts wet from the water fight. Like cheap lager. Like dude, like guy. Like like, y'know. Like the young professional empathy demographic for the wipe-clean, fresh-slate, germ-free digital age.
I hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
'Modish' is a hot-potato tossed around a lot by music writers today, but it's perfectly apt here. Modish, mod-ified, mod-like, mod-lite, mod-erate, mod-elled... . Pepe Deluxé may peddle old Carnaby lines but they've tailored this to the point of abstraction and extraction; where it will surely end-up, lost without context, whirling its Hammond and growling its rhetoric in an ad-break near you; somewhere. Wager me. I dare you.
Nice review.
Seriously.
But what does it sound like?
Like
a phone advert.
Ah.
I own a Pepe Deluxe album
It's ace. it's not this one though. I didn't realise they still existed.
Woah
A zero? Hot damn. How can it be that terrible?
He hates it. He hates it, he hates it, he hates it.
Such a useful review
Having wasted 30 seconds of my life I am no clearer as to who this band are, what it sounds like and whether it's any good or not
hmmmm.....

Dave, is happy a euphemism for 'special'?
Just saying...
he hates it with no other qualification doesn't actually communicate whether it's any good or not. Ya get me?
Exactly!
Yeah, what he said! :)
seriously
what is your problem man? you know i can take the fact that you dont dig the single but why vent so hard on here, surely you have better stuff to rant on about? this album and single has not, amonst 100's of reviews, received anything negative, quite the opposite, many have already said its one of the albums of the year. write about something you like and save yourself a coronary
Huh?!?
This is a great record from one of the albums of the year! Do you know anything about the group or the album?!? But, I suppose you can look cool to your friends by slating it.
Make your own mind up in future and get the fact right.
which fact?
RE: which fact?
They are not "27-year-old trendies" or whatever. Listen to the album then make up your mind if they "peddle old Carnaby lines but they've tailored this to the point of abstraction".
Sounds like a typical review that doesn't even try to find out anything about the music and just wants to diss it for all the wrong reasons to me.
And...
...just because a track sounds like it should be in an advert doesn't mean it was made only for that purpose.
Yeah, you're right actually.
Phew!
A man not afaird to admit when he might have got it wrong. I like your style, sir.
Check the album if you want.
I think you're overestimating me
Impossible!
;-)
Okay
