THE REVIEW

"PEREPEPEE... Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Already Heard Festival, the Fair of Copycats, the Festival of Swollen Ears... the Circus of Quotes has also arrived here with its musician/jugglers, their very very trendy looks oyeaah, the clowns of the "MiusikBisness", tattooed hipsters, Oasis-style haircuts, dwarfs and dancers... there's something for everyone: tonight's big show... on stage are The Libertines with their self-titled CD. It's all there, including the acrobatic acts that kids from Xelle love so much... let’s start with the Smiths-like imitations or go with the classic rock and roll heard for the millionth time.
Come one, come all, come listen to the youth-like rock of the fourth track, just to remain consistent... all already heard, all already said, a bit Clash, a bit Green Day or early The Trills. Take your seats... PEREPEPEE... line up kids, in pairs... excuse me, where are you parents going?! What's that, you've seen this circus a thousand times before? Well, I can't blame you, but... there are kids who are hearing these things for the first time and certainly haven't been through 1977... what's that? You'll come back to pick them up after the show? Well... I can't really blame you... come on kids, mosh and clap loudly because, listen up, we even have MTV filming us..."

WHAT'S THAT? Already heard review? Copied from another one (read The Libertines)? You feel a bit bitter and have the distinct sensation of being taken for a ride? Well, you're right, and it’s the same feeling I intended for you to experience as I did listening to these umpteenth epigones of ROCKxEVERYOUNG which frankly have slightly worn me out. The moral is only one: "copy&paste" music always has this effect (and also reviews, I completely agree with you on this and I swear I won't do it again!)
