Lost city angels - Broken world

America starts trends and unfortunately like any trend there are trendsetters and followers.

Lost City Angels from Boston is a copycat…it hurts to say, but this isn’t the cool band I bought the selftitled debut from a couple of years ago.

 

The Social Distortion a-like sound has disappeared and the band has transformed into an AFI-clone. Add some Bouncing souls backings and Rise Against spices and you’re ready.

This is perfect food for the ‘Hot topic’ generation. The weird thing is that ‘Broken world’ sounds extremely professional and the songs are pretty good. But it’s a bit to obvious.

 

‘I’m trying’ and ‘Hardly seems’ are the only songs that are slight reminders of the ‘old’ sound.

 

It’s pretty easy to see Universal wanted to sign as much bands as they could that would walk in the AFI success formula. I don’t think LCA will make it to the European continent, I think we can see right through the ‘image’.

 

Again, I can easily enjoy this album for it’s songs, they’re pretty damn good, but this isn’t the LCA I want to hear, any other band and this would get a big score.

I’m still singing to ‘Edge of 21’ and ‘If you go’ from their debut…gotta buy that one.

Score: 68/100
