Moneen

If Tragedy Is Appealing, Then Disaster's An Addiction

Label: Vagrant Release Date: 13/08/2006

14742
Renald by Lauren Starkey August 14th, 2006

A catchy chorus, a whiny voice and 'heartfelt' lyrics. Why do we have to keep hearing the same singles over and over and over again?.

This isn't even necessarily a bad song, but it's been done better a hundred times before by a hundred different bands. It's boring now. It's inoffensive to the point of being offensive. It's bland. It's every emo band you've ever heard rolled into one and diluted down to something that could pass for - shudder - pop-punk.

If you want to hear yet another of these bands, and one with ridiculously long song titles at that (something the press release seems to think is a good thing), then Moneen are excactly what you're looking for. If you'd rather save money and listen to the records you've already got, don't bother with this song.
