What The..., What The...
One of those albums that should not have been released to an audience outside of the band's hometown. The band name is bad, the music is even worse. What The... is one of those groups that reportedly plays rock and roll ("In case you've forgotten what that's all about (or never knew)" says their website), but in all honesty they play karaoke rock. You know, that stuff you get to sing to in karaoke bars that is just lame versions of real rock music. Try to stomach songs like "7 Women (A Guy Can Dream)", "Juiced Again", or "Let's Go Driving" and see if What The... is really rock and roll. I didn't think so. You'll be saying "what the..." as well along with your choice of favorite expletive to end the question once you've abused yourself with this disc. Not that you actually would.
