Why, given the relatively easy access to the classics would you choose to listen to a band that is derivative musically and adds nothing lyrically? For this reason, I lump The D4 into the same category as The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes and maybe even The White Stripes (though not to the same extent). Simply put, everything I may like about this album I can get–and get it better–from the Stooges.
I got this album at the same time as the Trail of Dead album, but I think I listened to this one maybe twice, and not once in the last 4 years. I made a mixed CD that summer of the new stuff I was getting and I included Ladies Man. That’s about the only lasting contribution this album had made to my life.
But some people like the Hives, and somebody must have liked this album to release it in the States (The D4 are from New Zealand). I’d like to believe that those who love this just don’t know their music history. It’s not that this is bad, just that it doesn’t give or tell us anything new.
Get a second opinion!
