Putting the needle back on to the turntable for the fourth consecutive time, ‘Burn Faster_’, the first track from Nine Black Alps’ second album, is still (in)distinctly unmemorable.
A mere slip of a song, ‘Burn Faster_’ is both anaemic and hookless; an uneasy amalgam of indie rock and the post-grunge kafuffle they were lamented or lauded for in the first place, depending on which side of the rock fence you sat on.
By the time the middle eight / outro grinds in, there seems so very little point, and still, there’s nothing to remember…

omg
but this review is really short. YOU CALL THIS JOURNALISM!>??!?!
DiS?
I thought i was ready a shitty london freebie paper.
edit
*reading.
That is a very short review
It tells us nothing.
I've only heard the song once, a week ago, and it's still rattling around my head.
Thought it got what deserved
an average review for a very average song.
Lack of progression
from their debut.
forgettable review
and the songs not even that bad, worthy of maybe a 6 in my opinion. nothing particularly special but pleasant enough.
First they were shit Nirvana
and now they're shit Foo Fighters.
I guess that's progress.
shit review. i'm sure he had much more to say about latest klaxons b side.
fuck indie - elitism. nine black alps is a good band.
Hmm.
I can't help but like this song. I probably shouldnt. But I DOOOOOOO!
Too much like Nirvana
I thought everyone grew out of grunge when they got to 12 and started big school?
Something like that
Nirv (12-15yrs)
Zeppelin (15-17yrs)
Punk Rock(17-21yr)
Indie crap bands nobody will remember a year from now (21-life)
RstJ
Look...
..I know this review is shit. I'm sorry. But you try writing about this sorry tat.
saw them last night
and they were mighty good.
This song
is worthy of a lot more than a 5. It's insanely catchy. 9BA are a really good band, they're incredibly underrated. Certainly better than all that Jack Penate and Kate Nash wank.
BYE BYE NINE BLACK BORINGS
No-one cares any more.
