DiSvsMatt by Mat Hocking December 5th, 2000

I bought the ‘3 Years Old’ single on Organ purely because I liked the name. Bit silly I know but I learnt my lesson coz it was terrible! Next thing I know I get sent a whole album of the stuff. Bland, poppy rock that just drags & drags, Just take the first track ‘Bulletproofman’ which, by tradition, should be the catchiest song on the album. Well, consisting of just one boring ‘riff’, it certainly does set the standard for what really is a poor album of unmemorable, bland pop-rock songs.

Avoid at all costs!
