Stephen Dusenberry —Second Opinion—

“Dead Air” by the Telefonics, from Colour Deluxe (Methopop Records, 2002).

This song sounds like Abercrombie, when you walk in the store and you hear a song that’s not quite pop music, but it’s trying to be like that fake, artsy pop music. They’re trying to make a different sound, but it ran on too long. If they’re trying to make a statement, they could have made that statement in under two minutes. It’s just a cheap attempt at trying to be fake-cool. It sounded like a parody. It sounded like, “let’s have fun with reverb!” Like someone discovered reverb for the first time and decided to put reverb on everything.

Our first bad review!!--wow man, this dude really hates us.
