TV on the Radio "Dear Science" [2008]

The biggest problem with having a virtually infinite number of tracks to record on is when geeks with no self-control like TV on the Radio fill them up without any regard for who's eventually going to be on the listening end. Same goes for "Dear Science"'s lyrical content: I have no idea what "foam-injected Axl Rose" means, but I'm totally offended anyway. All this would be bad enough if these guys' horrid taste in music wasn't on constant display throughout; does anyone really want to hear Kate Bush reinvented by a couple black dudes with glasses? Worst of all, we actually have to listen to these guys tell tale of their sexual escapades -- that's right, these Poindexters actually get laid! (I'll listen again to find out if their girlfriends supposedly live in Canada.) Anyway, no amount of effects will turn these guys into Massive Attack anytime soon, so while they're waiting around in vain for coolness to descend upon them, you'd be better off wasting time with someone (anyone) else.
