THE REVIEW
Unbearable. I watch TV in a distracted manner, as I usually do when they’re not showing motorcycle races or sumo matches. There's a commercial, one of those that cost billions of dollars with special effects, sharp colors, and ultra-clear sounds that verge on annoying. I hear the music and think: I have this unbearable record. I rummaged through a pile of CDs I had thrown there, among those that aren't great and end up in a heap that's the purgatory between the car's CD changer and entropic death on the shelf. I couldn't find it. Then, I said to myself, a group like this can only have a stupid name, the least original thing of the millennium. Of course, Télépopmusik. The improbable accents on the é to remind us they are French. They are truly unbearable. I can’t even listen to them while reviewing them. How do they manage to have so few ideas? How do they manage to be an eternal middle ground that, when summed up, doesn’t even reach a whole?? Why evoke Portishead and Tricky if you have nothing to add or even compare? Stay away, friends, they are the most annoying thing the French have ever produced!!
