Oy. This is ugly. Is it club music? At first that’s what it sounds like it wants to be. Then it’s just monotonous pounding. Not as dark as Swans, although that kind of commitment would be welcome. But not as interesting as Lydon was just a few years back. Proving that it was Jah Wobble all along.Much like it was McLaren before him. It’s too easy to call this Rotten. But it’s not good. This is what it sounds like when a celebrity asshole crashes a rave and insists on getting on the microphone. And the horn section is drunk.
