Bright Nights Dark Days

Grade: D

Rocks like: The beats of Linkin Park with the lyrics of Simple Plan

What the world really needs is more self-pitying wannabe rock stars. At least that’s what Cavo thinks.

The band’s debut album is a collage of tired beats and stupefyingly bad lyrics, accompanied by liner notes with band member headshots so hilariously serious it would be remiss not to mention them.

It’s hard to decide which lyrics to cite as evidence of the band’s overwhelming pretentious lunacy and inability to utilize logic, as there are so many to choose from.

The winning lyrics might come from “Champagne” — “Could’ve been the champagne / Could’ve been the cocaine / Could’ve been the way you looked at me that told me we were through.” How does one communicate through alcohol and drugs?

If you were somehow able to tune out the words, the melodies and rhythms aren’t terrible, just unremarkable. Most tracks would be fine for the last half of a marathon-running mix or to put on shuffle at a party where everyone is talking over them, anyway.

If you were going to skip just one album this year, Bright Nights Dark Days should be it.
