Even Richard Butler's voice that instantly summons up so many painful memories of adolescence can't save Trysome Eatone. The music just tries a little too hard to recapture the sound of the Psychedelic Furs, with too much emphasis on distorted power chords (you can almost see the guitar player and keyboardist striking up exaggerated poses and nodding at each other across a fog- covered stage). The lyrics are terrible, going from singsongy mock children's songs with not- so- deep political undertones to almost- sad- if- they- weren't- so- insincere lost love songs. The trademark anguish is gone from Butler's voice. This is a happy man that should be writing and singing happy songs, not trying to recapture the ache so evident in his earlier works.
