The album cover makes it seem like these guys are trying to be the Beatles. But then once you listen to the music, you realize they are actually trying to be Oasis.
But I suppose Britpop on the whole is a rather derivative genre, so I should not begrudge the Charlatans too harshly for not sounding original. I actually enjoyed a few songs on the album but they weren't particularly memorable.
It's been a pretty "meh" stretch of albums lately, so I'm hoping something impressive comes along soon to shake things up.
RATING: 3/5
