IMA ROBOT: Monument to The Masses Virgin For a glammy, synthpop-punk band like Ima Robot, is there anything but post-modernism? The follow-up to 2003's self-titled debut is decidedly cleaner, but washing away some of that dirty feedback just glaringly reveals Ima Robot's cheeky and corny catchiness ("This is the beat, the beat that we fight to/This is the best we live, so DJ turn it up"). Vocalist Alex Ebert dangerously tiptoes that whiney emo line (the genre's leading dislikeable quality, even ahead of sissy-ass lyrics and Hot Topic studded belts) and, like emo, this LA band has that die-hard Central Massachusetts mall punk fan base (one that'll surely grow with this unabated sheen). And it's a confused, teenage, angst-happy world where damn-the-man sentiments are often mixed with damn-any-man whimsies (the automated phone-prompt disparaging "Disconnect"), where block-of-cheese laments on melodramatic puppy love count as honest-to-god poetry from the heart (the piano turned hair metal power-ballad "Chip Off the Block"), and where garbage like "Cool Cool Universe" passes for rap. Just because the lyrics are aware of themselves, doesn't mean the band is. Reviewer: Kelsey Glamour http://urb.com/reviews/cd/index.php?M=all&L=I

I agree with this. All of what poobs just said. Right here. Exactly. Seriously, where's the rolleyes smilie? Poobs and I can't virtually roll our eyes at this guy, and frankly it's upsetting me.
