Razorlight - Razorlight

The new album from Supertramp...sorry, Sad Cafe...sorry, Huey Lewis & The News...sorry, Razorlight - with an eponymous second album, no less (not much thought there, you lazy bastards). No difficult second album worries for Borrell and the boys with the follow-up to Up All Night. Nah, they've gone headlong into churning out some wierd 1970s-style nonsense. In The Morning, which we've all heard on the radio by now, is the standout track. The rest, a mushy mess bordering on the kind of sound that you'd expect if, say, U2 collaborated with Cliff Richard or Cher. America, what's that about? Well, I'll give you a clue: it's about America. Los Angeles Waltz? You've got it. As for calling a track Pop Song 2006, don't get me started. Strangely listenable, though, this CD. Probably due to it coming in at a 1970s-style 40 minutes long.
