It’s amazing to see so many ill-fated trends rammed into one band: purple AA hoodies (thanks Klaxons), pseudo-80s ingredients like lasers and keytars and Fall Out Boy-style song titles that are irreverent and needlessly long, like My Moves Are White (White Hot, That Is). Cobra Starship appear void of a single original idea on their ‘funky’ second album.
An emo supergroup of sorts featuring members of pop punk also-rans Midtown and the Academy Is…, Cobra bite Panic at the Disco’s keyboard rock success and slap some nasal vocals over top that sound way too much like FOB’s Patrick Stump, who overproduced this gem by piling vocal tracks on so thick, there’s no way singer Gabe Saporta could ever pull it off live.
