Review by: Andy Malcolm
MTVmo is still going strong! Who knew. People in Planes (passengers, surely?) have been intently studying the book, like it was some kind of exam cram guide. Everything has been committed to memory, and is now being regurgitated. A grim mash up of Jimmy Eat World and some grunge band with keyboards. And it’s not even as good as that might suggest. Plenty of delusions of pomposity on show here, lots of wrought-ness and IPod ready production that has flushed what flecks of soul there may have once been in the music. This is hopeless and hapless, and some guy from Biffy Clyro says “I would recommend People in Planes. They’re a great band”. I REST MY CASE.
p.s. THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS, THEY CAN TURN YOU INTO WOMEN
