Review

Never has the title of an album been deservedly so true. If anything, Goldie Lookin' Chain should get an 'Asbo 4 Life', solely for noise pollution and multiple complaints from residents in the local area. I’m trying to figure this one out. I always thought novelty bands, although tedious, were suppose to be funny for the first five minutes then you get bored with them. Not this mob of course. They were never funny. To be fair, I cannot deny they are great live act but on the evidence of this album it is time for them to give it up and get real jobs. Welsh accents aren’t that funny to the rest of us on these funny isles since we all like 'Gavin and Stacey'. 'Asbo 4 Life' ? Yes, we get it as chav culture is easy to mock and we’re all up in arms because of hoodies. I would rather have someone perform surgery on me with no aesthetic and using a spoon, rather than listen to some white scally ‘rhyming some bad chunes man’. This is awful. We got the joke five years ago and at the time it wasn't funny then. I am calling the local council to get a banning order. Who is with me ?
