THE trouble is, we've heard it all before - and ignored it the first time round.
Philadelphia double act Dimitri Coats and Melanie Campbell project the sterile themes of blood-letting and violence (try Stabbed In The Back Of The Heart or Blood On The Highway) without having the talent to make us sit up and notice. It's all very well being able to play your instruments, but thrash and bang means little without the material to back it up. It's not so terrible that you can't listen to it, it's just boring. There are only so many three-chord tricks you can take on a 36-minute album. See if you can make it to the bonus track, See You Empty - which is how you will feel if you do.
