Review: Album - Five O'Clock Heroes – Speak Your Language
6:18pm Thursday 17th July 2008
SOMETIMES music critics seem to engage in the musical equivalent of a playground pile-on.
This second album from these transatlantic New Wave indie types has attracted extremely negative press attention, and with good reason.
Speak Your Language rolls together all the worst bits of Paul Weller and all of the boring bits of 80s guitar music that had been rose-tinted out in your memory, leaving just soul-crushing filler.
Exceptionally dull.
