A Rush of Blood to the Head
November 10th, 2003
There’s something about most contemporary male rock singers that immediatly turns me off–this mealy-mouthed proto-Bono sensitive-guy shtick, like they’re all Dave Matthews clones? That thing? I can’t stand it. Chris “I do Gwyneth” Martin is no exception. Coldplay may be ripping off Radiohead, but some of this stuff sounds pretty good…and strangely familiar, probably from commercials or because you can’t live far enough outside of mainstream culture not to recognize “Clocks” or whatever it’s called? I got this album for Our Dear Leader, but I might give it a second listen.
