The new chemicals album in it's entirety is on the astralwerks/caroline
web page, and I tried in vain to find a single cut worth listening to more
than a minute of. It seems like whatever ideas they may have had and displayed
on their first 2 EPs are well and truly played out, and they're left with
nothing but the ticks and affectations of their style, with no substance
to hang it on.
Really dreadful stuff in my opinion. To have started out so young and
strong only to end there...tragic.
