Nine Days -- The Madding Crowd

You know it really gets me angry when a band comes out with their first album and the band tries to be incredibly righteous and pertinent to society as if their music is some sort of tool for making the world a better place. I can understand when someone established does this, but a band that has one album and they think they're so special. You might remember this group Nine Days, on this album is their famous song that was all over the place, it starts "This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world..." Remember that song? Well the whole album is like that, self righteous and annoying. They also had a song on the album which got a lot of air play because it dealt with teen suicides. That's right they made a song about Teen suicides. You know what else they did? They did a song called Bob Dylan in which they say how Bob is playing Music in the basement. Also with the chorus starting off with "It's just like Bob Dylan says..." and then use a clip from one of his songs and then they expound on the clip. Wow. They really think they're important. Just two more lines to show how weird their stuff is. How about this line from the song Bitter. "If I could change anything I would change everything, these bitter days shall remain." Huh. Now for the best line on the whole album, "I wanna crawl inside your womb". Wow, what a fantastic album ladies and gentlemen. Ugh. This album has no redeeming value, it's lame, it's atrocious and it's pure self righteous written all over it.

Don't bother. Don't get this album. It's not worth your time.
