[Mael-list] Anyone else for a lynch mob?

[Steve Boyce]

soundtrack to my nightmares where I'm being chased by Nazi puppy rapists
who want to kill me by peeling my skin off and then bathe in my
entrails.

 

Does he get these nightmares often do you think?  Interesting images
floating around in this guy's head. Probably comes from being a fan of
Rufus Wainwright.

Exotic Creatures of the Deep is Sparks' 21st outing and having managed
to fail to break into the mainstream on pretty much all of their
previous attempts, and while their genre-hopping is ambitious and maybe
even impressive it's hard to imagine this being a breakaway pop hit. 

The whole album matches up quite closely with Rufus Wainwright's
outrageously camp chamber pop sound with definite hints of opera among
all the string sections along with random synths and out of place power
chords with one difference. It sucks. The whole posh voice, bad falsetto
and poorly rhyming and clumsy sounding lyrics make this sound like a
half completed musical abortion where any semblance of talent has
already been removed. 

There's the hope that Sparks are being ironic with titles like 'I Can't
Believe That You Would Fall For All The Crap In This Song' and 'I've
Never Been High' and occasional moments when I think some people might
go for this operatic disco shit, but for everyone else it seems it would
serve better as a torture for Iraqi prisoners of war, probably as a less
humane substitute to beatings and being forced into sexually
compromising positions. It's safe to say this album will be the
soundtrack to my nightmares where I'm being chased by Nazi puppy rapists
who want to kill me by peeling my skin off and then bathe in my
entrails.
