JJ72 - JJ72

This is one those albums that bought in hope more than in expectation - hope that the Fairly Good Single one remembers from a few years back will turn out to've been indicative of a Fairly Good Album without having any particular confidence that this will in fact be the case. The FGS in this instance was "October Swimmer", and the album, well, call it two parts Placebo and one part post-Sunburn Muse but, aforementioned single aside, not as catchy as either, and it's about as good as that description suggests (ie, Not Really Very Good At All). You could say that, to save myself the possibility of some private embarrassment in the unlikely event of my doing an about-face in my opinion at some point down the track, I ought to've listened to JJ72 more than once before writing this - but really, there'd seem to be little point. Oh well.
