... Girls" and "Radio Christiane" are just about reasonable enough, much of the album is rather bland and it seems like the band can't really be bothered to use their instruments most of the time as it is either sloppy or too sparse at different moments in time. The vocals are perhaps the most interesting of all and vary from enjoyable to almost unbearable, the singer has an Elvis Costelloesque drawl which I happen to find quite cool, unfortunately at other times he uses falsetto and it doesn't really work - ju...more

The Virgins - The Virgins: Dance pop rock that doesn't really do the trick (283 words)

The Virgins were tipped to be the next biggest thing coming out of New York, their dance pop rock mixture was highly acclaimed and despite the obvious Strokes influences, they were touted as having a great deal of individuality.
