Imperial State Electric - I'll let you down

Yup, you sure will, by releasing a pathetically gutless and mediocre "rock" album, the latest culmination of a slow, downward arc. Imperial State Electric's new self-titled album pissed me off when I first heard it, it was so damn wimpy, but it has somewhat redeemed itself on repeat listens. A few bright spots shine out among the rubbish and I suppose that even this revved-up Beatles imitation isn't truly that bad. Give me three or four weeks though, it will be a distant memory gathering digital dust, Nicke Andersson's marquee name it's premiere saving grace. I am curious to see what the Swedish press will say about it though. I predict fawning adoration, but who knows? I've been wrong before.
