A Total Disappointment
This stuff is light years from the Beatles - and the direction is downward. The melodies are not clever or graceful, the vocals are undistinguished and the lyrics incredibly puerile. They do sound a bit Beatle in their guitars occasionally - 6 and 12 string guitar combinations here and there - but Utopia's Deface the Music, some of XTC's Duke's of Stratosphear Beatle rip-offs and, of course, the Rutles all come much closer. I know these guys are supposedly de rigueur for Beatle lovers, but I'm not hearing it AT ALL.
