The second and final album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, organ, keyboards, saxophone and vocals.
A guest added some extra electronic drums.
I was pretty happy about their debut album Word. Some good art-pop/rock. So I was looking forward to review this album.
I Can Do Without You is a mixed bag to say at least.
There is a lot of Madness like pop here. There is also some funk and disco here. And you can also add some generic 1980s pop and rock to the picture.
This album is a pretty huge step backwards from the debut album.
It sounds like a 1980s rock/funk album and the songs are not good at all. The band has tried to hide the bad song writing by employing some pretty lame rhythms and percussions. Tricks that falls flat on it's face.
There is some decent stuff here, but....
It is a half decent album and that is all.
1.5 points
