Razorlight - Somewhere Else |
 It might just be me, but when ever I see Johnny Borrell’s face I feel like jumping towards the magazine picture or television and slapping all the bodily fluids out of his face. I know music shouldn’t be judged on appearance but he looks like that gormless one from Westlife but with longer hair (something I realise isn’t a crime, but it should be) and his voice is some how more irritating and annoying than any type or puerile creature a Vernon Kay/Peter Kay lovin' would produce (god have mercy on us all). Also I enjoy a good sneer. The fact that so many women find him attractive makes me lose all hope for the future of man kind, thanks to a certain mainstream music magazine it seems there is now an acceptance for ugly cretin such as himself. Have some self respect for god’s sake.
Equally as moral drenching is Razorlight’s newest serving of musical excrement, ‘Somewhere Else’, less of a solid mix of early Libertines and the Thrills (although that in itself would be the musical equivalent of hanging yourself with a bike chain) and more of something hat even an Others/Hal project would be ashamed to produce. It’s obviously a mash of some of the contrived ideas that came up on tour, quickly and mercilessly put together in order to cash in on their
recent high profile arena tour dates. Not surprising really considering the amount of publicity that was rammed down our throats previous to the albums release by some record company executive (the human equivalent of a turd). I’m just hoping that one day all the money being poured into Razorlight will run out when they turn shit or the next trend or phase takes place and they’ll play places like the Charlotte on their way down were I will be able to carry out my dream of introducing Johnny Borrell’s undeserving mug to a shotgun.
