The audacity of a musical no-mark like Pritchard slagging an album written by a partially deaf 23 year old as a 'teenage symphony to God' that comes closer to achieving its aim than anything else would be understandable if he had anything like the talent Brian Wilson had. I suppose he has another year to come up with something comparable to Pet Sounds. Anyone care to bet he will? Luke Pritchard will be a washed-up has-been trying desperately to relaunch his career in 5 years time while people will still be listening to Pet Sounds and wondering where it came from and how. The conceited eunuch also has the cheek to slag the front cover of Pet Sounds. Let me compare his album's front cover with Pet Sounds for a second:
Hmm, let me see. I can look at a bunch of tousle-haired drama school wannabes trying to look cool, or I can see a bunch of guys feeding cute animals at a petting zoo. Conceit vs. Fun. No contest really. I've tried really hard not to put any sweary words into this post, so as a result if I ever see the clown on the street I'll use them then.
