Picture
Direct from the Danish capital of Copenhagen come alternative rock trio, New Politics with their self-titled debut album. Having formed only about a year prior to this release, many rock fans will notice the hallmarks of an underdeveloped band. The record is sharp, but fails to show any real creativity. The singles, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" and "Dignity" are catchy, but follow suit with the rest of the album in that there is little originality. The first single as well as tracks like "Nuclear War" exhibit a sort of feax punk sound that is hard to take seriously. The whole work seems to be the band's own self indulgent rockstar fantasy that is inherently generic and only midly enjoyable. New Politics do, however show promise. The instrumentals and vocals are tight. They're spot on musically, there just needs to be more organic artistic expression on their sophomore work or they will surely lose any credibility in the American market.
