A weird old album this one. Another Shifty Disco release and what appears from My Device's day-glo website to be their second. It's very much like a debut though, a jumble of ideas with no real coherent direction. It's not a bad album per se, it's just that they seem to have ram raided the current musical trends for ideas and in the haste of their smash n grab, have grabbed odd bits that don't really fit together. So there are elements of emo, punk-funk, angular guitar pop, nu-rave and many others all blended together into an unholy mess.Having said that a lot of people will love this album because it pushes all the right buttons. Maybe with a clenched fist, but it achieves the same result. And even though I'm still not convinced the album is worth checking out for Everything Is Inflatable, which in being psychotically deranged, is fantastic. More like this track please!
