The Hype Factory introduces a whole new way of reviewing albums! It's
like sitting in a room with a bunch of jaded music critics and getting
a snapshot of how they feel about an album.
Liars - They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
Paul: Dissonant. Arhythmic warbling inspired by the sounds
of medical equipment. It destroyed my kidney stone.
George: Is this music? It pains me.
Ringo: I think my record keeps skipping. And my speakers
are obviously blown. Unintelligible, confused, uninteresting.
On Air Library - On! Air! Library!
Paul: Lush. Cocteau Twins. Snowpony. Droning with a pinch
of Petula Clark.
George: Very New York art rock. Velvet Underground for
a new millenium. Textural and Vibrant.
Ringo: Taxiing around, but never gets off the runway.
God not mommy were barf virgin whore.
Emilie Autumn - Enchant
Paul: Like fast talking trip-hop.Fast songs good. Slow
songs bad. Why can't Tori read?
George: Amazingly talented singer/instrumentalist who
lacks ability to identify with common folks. Damned Rennaissance
Faeries.
Ringo: Bad Turkish pop. She thinks she fliggah. I don't
opt it. Channeling Ofra Haza.
John: Sushi is good. Ice cream is good. Don't mix them
together.
Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse
Paul: Sixties soundtrack featuring V-neck sweaters and
dickies and front swept hair. Damn Frenchies.
George: Sixties jet-set girl in a world of go-go boots
and felted wool swing coats.
Ringo: Brilliant shiny electro-pop with nowhere to go
and no time to be there. Excellent.
