If you're asking me, Loud Lucy seems to be one of those cases of a "Hey, let's jump on the band­ wagon!" band. Which bandwagon they are jumping on. I'm not sure. It seems like Loud Lucy want to be a little of everything - eve­ rything but original. And it's not even the fact that they're generic that has me hung up. I just feel like I've heard these songs before. Isn't that a Radiohead song? Didn't Nirvana do this song first? Had they been covers, this would have made sense, but alll2 tracks were originals. Admittedly, the songs are catchy, but it's the kind of catchy where a song drills itself into your head and stays there. Is this a good thing? You decide.
