Liquido: float (re-release)

Sometimes you come across a band that makes you think that there is still something new and fresh in the music world. Liquido is not one of them. This Euro pop band that ventures into Green Day territory gives you the impression that they are listening to what is on the local bubblegum radio station and then sitting back and seeing how they can sound just like them. From the opening track "flip to play" that mimics the afore mentioned Green Day to the ironically titled "fake boys/girls" this is a band that has no identity or soul for that matter. All you have is a group playing mostly run of the mill synth/pop that was so popular in Europe around the time of the original release. Think of Flock of Seagulls or someone of a similar vein and you will get the idea.

This is a group that was perfect for the ADD generation and their inability to distinguish between the bands playing on the radio. They have broken up and I suspect it is because they could not agree on whose music to copy next. I have played this disc a few times to see if my first impressions were wrong and each time I put it in I really wanted to just rip it back out. This one is not worth the time unless you want some mindless drivel to play in the background.
