scoundrel, Mar 25, 2004

Adult. knows how to write good songs, there’s no doubt about that. But as for playing good song, they’re only so-so. The programming on Anxiety Always is spot-on; the synths they use are wonderfully retro-sounding and occasionally harsh. The music itself harkens to the darkness that the whole new wave moment seemed to miss back in the 80s. But the vocals definitely leave something to be desired. They might be going for the aggressive yet aloof growl (like Romeo Void), but it comes off as completely amateurish. There’s no irony when she sings nyah nyah nyah on “Turn Your Back” or about how much love hurts on “Kick in the Shin.” It’s a pity that the vocals take center stage; it’s the music itself that should be the star.
