Infadels - We Are Not The Infadels

NEW VINYL LP ON WALL OF SOUND 2006.

While spotty hooks occasionally bail out the Infadels' creative palsy, the album's more proactive numbers only add insult to this injury. "Reality TV" barks more than bites, with Bnann sardonically tossing out Social Commentary 101 lyrics like "the people on the screen are your family now" and "I wanna see people huggin' and kissin'." Similarly, opener "Love Like Semtex" should come across as a call to arms, but instead it stumbles on a lifeless groove, a veritable dud for a song about explosives and sex. Track after track similar problems arise, and the album never lives up to its edgy/party surface. At the end of the night, the Infadels' promising shindig serves more sliced vegetables and Kool-Aid than pretzels and beer, and judging by the album's conservative creativity, the band's parents were invited, too.
