Silversun Pickups
Lazy Eye
Silversun Pickups is a terrible name for a band. It really is. Just think about it.
Bad.
But let’s not judge the content by the stuff in which it is wrapped – unless it’s Silversun Pickups.
With a polished ‘edgy’ guitar sound and slightly warped vocal treatment, Silversun Pickups’ Lazy Eye is probably the most cynical thing I’ve listened to in quite a while. Fundamentally there is nothing going on in this song – the riff is a plodding bore, the lyrics mean nothing, the quiet/loud dynamic is executed in the most pedestrian way possible and it finishes as if it was embarrassed to be there to begin with.
Quite where this band has come from is a mystery to me. Why they would choose to release music of such crushingly bad quality is a quandary in which to wrap that mystery. And why they would release a ‘Radio Edit’ makes me wonder what horrors await us on the album.
If I never hear this again it will be far, far too soon. Lazy? Aye.
