What’s Wrong With New York?

by The Dare

I think I like a lot of the same music this guy likes, but the way he's channeling that stuff here feels bloodless and limp. Like he's an undercover cop trying to figure out where all the coke is coming from and bringing back this type of electroclashy stuff was the best idea they had down at the precinct.

That's harsh, I suppose. Some of these songs are really catchy and fun! But once you get past the hit ("Girls") the album's a little on the flat side. I think The Dare can (and hopefully will) do better next time out... because deep down, even if this particular record isn't doing it for me the way I want it to... I love this trashy shit.
