Scouting For Girls - Everybody Wants To Be On TV Album .

If you asked me whether or not I like Scouting For Girls, I would most certainly tell you NO. However, when this album ended up in face of me, I figured it was time to be open minded and see whether this was forgettable dross, or maybe something with some longevity.To be honest, I had entirely forgotten about any song which Scouting For Girls had released, but the moment This Aint a Love Song began, I remembered instantly hearing it played ended and over on the Radio;

which is understandably a plus for the band, but can frequently be connected to the Crazy Frog syndrome of becoming annoying to hear to, rather than a credible tune. That said, I cant deny that it is a catchy song although I shrink when the word bloody gets included in the lyrics.Why? Because it feels like its too forced and doesnt fit the music properly. Equivalent to that boy at school who stole cigarettes off his mum and ended up spluttering in the corner whilst trying to look hard.Goodtime Girl is more in air with Scouting For Girls material; utilising quick, clean riffs from the guitars, combined with some competent piano playing.Every song is a singalong opportunity and its thanks to this that the circle are capable to regenerate some credibility and actually, its a real talent to make music with consistent hooks (however annoying they may eventually become).Famous sounds likes a naff 80s rip off and is a very unnecessary track and really cheapens the album. For some reason, the band spend the latter half of the album over indulging in cheesy synth noises and effects, which actually dont sound very good at all!Youve got a grouping of decent musicians who for some reason have decided they Must use these club-style noises.It leaves me shaking my mind in disappointment. It might be considered AMAZING by some people, but lets be honest, the boys can do a whole lot better.Having kicked off the album with a smash hit record, every song to watch will now be compared; so its time to measure up.I dont remember if Scouting For Girls planned to save half their songs about Girls and whether this is an intentional recurring theme, but it gets tired in the end.I think all in all, there are one or two worthy moments on this album, but ultimately there is no longevity here and like so many chart acts, we wont be talking about them in ten days time; unless its a reunion tour!This album is just OK. Theres nothing like a small bit of class, wrapped up in a perfect assis an instance of the case of lyrics you can expect. oh dear.
