Everything Is Average Nowadays
Monday 28 May 2007
Perhaps it's just me, but is anyone else disappointed in the Kaiser Chiefs? I loved their first album, it was fresh and innovative, if a little full of art-house smugness. But this new single is the final straw.
After the single 'Ruby', which was little more than a band pandering to the anthem-hungry pop masses, the newest single, 'Everything Is Average Nowadays,' is either a satirical masterpice, or the most ironically titled single of the year. A song that can be described as, among other things, repetitive, uninspiring, and bland, it certainly seems to encapsulate the theme displayed in the title. Deliberate, cutting commentrary on the state of music, and the exploitation of the 'indie' genre into commerical success? Or just a shit song?
I fear the latter.

I haven't heard the song yet...and I'm not that fussed. The title sounds like it should be put to the tune of "Everyday I love you less and less"
Their lyrics were always a bit rubbish to be honest... Ruby's still alright though...
why does every song need to include "ahhhhhhhhhAHHHHHHH" -

All music eventually turns into a pop-sellout, it's the inevitable circle of non-revivalistic music =/
btw, you're handsome :)
