Musically bland with a singer who can't decide between hero worshipping the Muse vocalist or the shortarse from Placebo. Honestly, sometimes I genuinely can't imagine what record companies are thinking. These guys must have got a fair amount of cash to write and record an album and have managed to produce something less pleasurable than listening to kittens being tortured.

I know I'm in trouble for taking ages to review this album (sorry Woolies!) but after listening to it the first time it was an absolute chore to put it on again. I genuinely can't think of a good thing to say about Shadow Boxing other than the CD will double as a nice coaster next time I have a cup of tea. Or a frisbee if I happen to be feeling slightly more energetic. The problem is I can't even work up some decent vitriol towards the album or the band. It doesn't even stand out as an example of...

You see that No Remote? That's your favourite band, that is. They played at your mum's wedding. Last Tuesday.

The re-review will involve me going into seclusion for four days of fasting in order to channel the spirit of the great Lester Bangs.

Re: No Remote - Shadow Boxing
Oops. I didn't realise it had been so long since I said I would re-review this in full gonzo style. I may still do so but every attempt so far has ended in me getting about halfway through the EP and deciding that I'm not quite that bored yet.
