Angles
Shut up haters! On their junior album (is
that correct considering a second album is a called a sophomore
album?) the rich kid hipsters from Manhattan make a more “mature”
album full of catchy-ass tunes that would inevitably garner
blowback from those who are now too cool to like the cool kids.
They do sound a little more world weary on this album, but what
do you expect; these guys have had to downgrade to Veuve Clicquot
non-vintage since sales have waned. After all they were
like 28 when they put out this album. Plus, they’re mostly pulling
double-duty as they all seemed to be gearing up to put out their
solo records. Ok, it may not be as good as the other two, but
I still think the critics were just jealous of their easy style
and collarless leather jackets. |
