They stumbled and fell.
Can someone explain to me where Razorlight went? Yeah, I'm well aware they have a new release coming out this month... but what I'm asking is, what happened to the Razorlight that Paul (the Anglophile) introduced me to a couple years back? You know, the one with catchy songs that grow on you? Not this reincarnation of Talking Heads meets Pulp that I'm hearing at this very moment. I'm sorry to say, but it's a let down. I don't know if it's just the mixing, or the fact that I had to check to make sure it wasn't a new Everclear album.
I feel horrible giving a bad review ("if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"), but sometimes you just have to be honest. Don't take my word for it though, listen for your own taste.

Yup. Regurgitated CBGB necrophilia.
Tom Verlaine meets Bob Geldof.
Bloody horrible.
Then I tell myself that Blur started out wearing their influences on their sleeves, but went on to develop a style of their own.
