Review by: Gareth L
Do you like the Bravery? Do you like the Killers? Well, this CD is for you! 10 tracks of uninspiring indie rock pap that is, believe it or not, probably worse than the band who have such lyrical gems like ‘somebody told me that you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend’. ‘Dirty Words’ is a collection of songs with meaningless lyrics, recycled guitar riffs from the early 80s and probably lots of rock star posturing. I bet if they’ve made a video for a single which they probably have it’s all ‘arty’ and ‘edgy’. The NME probably loves them. Seriously, this is bad. DO THEY REALLY THINK ANYONE AT COLLECTIVE WOULD LIKE THIS? I mean really. Come on. Maybe the last 3 songs are amazing but if I was a betting man I’d go for probably not. I just had to turn it off and put something else after wincing through three quarters of this album.
