The Chap -'Builder's Brew' (Loaf Recordings)
This has to rate as THE worst album I have heard all year*, and I have heard around 150.
The problem with The Chap is that they think that a) they're intelligent and b) that they are being post-modern and ironic (or moronic, for short). Unfortunately, all they are is bloody irritating.
The Chap have reportedly received praise for sources as diverse as Vice and The Wire, and been played by Stuart Maconie. Frankly speaking these people need their ears clearing out. This is a festering turd of a record, frankly. It's actually quite offensive that people are given money to make music this bad.
It finishes with their cover of 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' yes, the Tina Turner cheese-fest. Which apparently has been demanded by their fans for years. It makes The Residents' mauling of 'satisfaction' seem like a worthy statement.
Words cannot express just how bad this record is. There is no need for this to exist. Go away. Leave me the hell alone.

worst album review i've read all year (and i've read 152)
ha ha...
you're an idiot.
...for writing an honest review? whatever...
oh, and next time, leave your name/email.
It's my blog, and I don't have to publish feedback if I don't want to!
Bloody hell, if he doesn't like a record, he's entitled to say so, you goddamned wanker.
Sorry, Ed, but people like that get under my skin.
...oh and by the way, I've just downloaded the mp3, and you, Eduardo, are 100% right. Pretentious, unattractive bilge. Anonymous, perhaps you should listen to as much new music as Mr Jupp does before making uninformed and childish insults. So, having read the little you have to say, I'll sling one at you: you're a twat (in addition to what I said earlier).
Cheers, Steve! Hope you're well...
Steve pretty much said what i would of said. I listend to the album and thinking ah well maybe Ed doesnt get it but i agree...what is there to get?

Ah bless ya SW, always glad to count on you for sensible comments too!

You are right! That song is like a cruel joke. You may be the only music reviewer who didn't fall for it.
You mean people actually listen to that crap out of choice? The world is one scary, messed-up place sometimes...
