Re: [bomp] Re: definitely what the fuck




I only heard the first 2 albums. The first one was was played incessantly by 
one of my idiot drones at the record store and I couldn't stand it from note 
one (we eventually "lost" it). The second one I heard 2 or 3 times and hated 
it equally. I also had the misfortune of seeing them live (well, 3 songs and 
we split)- a potato has more stage presence. It wasn't even worth sticking 
around for free. I just don't find anything appealing or interesting about 
anything they do (or 99% of any of that "Britpop stuff). It's really, really 
boring.
