Amy Winehouse "Back to Black" [2006]
As far as drug and alcohol casualties in the music biz go, Amy Winehouse gets an "F." If Jimi Hendrix can come out with new shit decades after he kicked, Winehouse's two lone albums can only be seen as a disgrace. Then behold "Back in Black," a sullen, self-defeating volume of out-of-date ditties that exactly predict her dire fate in just the first three songs alone. Fuck anyone who can't see the writing on the wall that they themselves put there. Amy Winehouse wasn't the first chick to get dumped for being too un-hot and/or flakey, and that she made a mess of herself because she thought she might have been is not deep or soulful, it's pathetic. All this without mentioning she sang like she had spiders in her bouffant, which she probably did. Don't cry for Amy, folks -- she always knew she'd be going "Back to Black" sooner than the rest of us.
