referencing Dirty Vegas, CD, Album, CDP 7243 5 39986 2 2

There's no denying that "Days Go By" is a killer song. It's got that driving bassline, those vocoded vocals, and the beat that just won't stop. It's the reason why that Mitsubishi car commercial has rightly become famous. Unfortunately the rest DIRTY VEGAS don't come close to matching that track's intensity. Instead, most of the songs scream "I want to be a crossover hit," but without making that necessary leap. They deliver an alt rock/techno hybrid that really doesn't do justice to either. Compare, for example, the acoustic version of "Days Go By" to the regular version. See what I mean? Hopefully they'll be able to get their bearing and produce more stellar tracks, because one good song just can't save the whole album.
