 THE
FORGOTTEN- Control Me
(BYO Records) Control Me is absolutely dripping with street punk attitude.
I get the feeling that if I even look at this disc the wrong way
I’m gonna get a swift boot in the chops.
Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that I definitely
don’t think these guys suck.
That said, after 4 listens all the way through, most of the songs
just aren’t sticking with me after I hear them (though I admit the
disc’s closing cut, “Our Response,” is a solid one).
It seems like The Forgotten’s main desire is to be perceived as
authentic street punks, and while I don’t doubt that they are the real
deal as such, I think the quality and originality of the songs on this CD
suffer as almost an afterthought to this attitude.
