    Worst CD i have ever spent money on. Way to much hype for such a blah CD. The only reason ppl like this is b/c it was trendy to like it.

    This might be the most overated band in music right now. I just don't see the fascination people have with them. Crap, crap, from start to finish.

    Dull as arse from an over-rated band who are only getting such recognition becasue the state of British music at the moment is so poor in general. Everything is relative you know!

    Favourite moves forward not one inch from Whatever, which is safe and reliable, but also repetitive. [#17, p.82]
  2. Blender

    In the tradition of thorny newbie bands that get scarily too big (Nirvana, Radiohead, Weezer), they’ve followed their funny, catchy debut with a less funny, less catchy second record to prove how little they trust the good times their music obviously inspires.

    Favourite Worst Nightmare is a near-triumph, a far superior Album #2 than Meat Is Murder, The Libertines, or Second Coming. Yet some doubts nag, partly because of the subject matter. [May 2007, p.84]
