Peter Bjorn & Yawn

Acquiescing to Rolling Stone’s demands, I listened to the new Peter Bjorn & John disc.

No.

Wtf? How is this “good”? I mean, it’s some guys making music but..is there something interesting about this music I’m just missing? It’s not bad by any stretch, but is it good? I…I don’t think so. Sure “Old Folks” or “Young Folks”, whatever it was, was a great, catchy pop song BUT this album sounds nothing like that, so it’s not going to please that audience. What audience IS it going to please?

Not this one. Next!

I tried to listen to it again and just can’t. It’s too damn boring. And not boring in a good way like the National or Starflyer or something.

Their 2005 disc seems to be better so far, but still not nearly enough to make me listen to it again, let alone buy it.
