Backbeat

The Backbeat Band

Edit

I'm a huge fan of the Beatles. I'm also a huge fan of the modern artists that did this album. ..and the Backbeat movie was ok too. So I figure, how can I go wrong. I'll buy the record.

Well simply put, the album sounds like a bunch of generic poo.

Why in the world did they have Thurston Moore on here? Hmm, we need somebody to stand there and strum basic chords .. let's bring in someone who normally plays sound-effects guitar with magnets and drumsticks.

Obviously the point was to put together a modern supergroup (underground supergroup anyway) to cover a supergroup.

Problem = it doesn't sound like The Beatles OR like these familiar modern artists. It just falls somewhere boringly inbetween, though that might be exactly what some people would want.

DAVE GROHL CANNOT SING. Yeah that's right I said it. Gumby was a better rockstar then this guy. ..well i mean that sarcastically but thinking about it, Gumby was actually a really cool rockstar. But back on topic, Dave Grohl needs to stick to things he's good at like chewing gum, beating the snot out of drum-sets, and growing big sweaty moustaches.

I've heard cardboard boxes blowing in the wind that sounded more exciting then this record.

If Amazon.com had the feature, I'd give it a negative star just for having the guy from Soul Asylum on it.
