Thurderbirds Are Now!, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief (Action Driver)
Like a quirky, spazzed-out version of Brainiac meets the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Thurderbirds Are Now! are the latest incarnation of punk's obsession with creating dance music. And it?s exactly how you think it would sound: synthesizers bounce and jitter, guitars capture a lo-fi groove, drumbeats cater to a dancefloor, and vocals are fast-paced sass attacks. Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief is not poor in quality, exactly, as much as it is entirely expected and painfully predictable. Yeah, the album is fun while it lasts, but most likely you'll never think about it or reach for it off your shelf after its initial spin of 23 minutes expires.
