i don't mean to sound indifferent, but sleaford mods just sound like a couple of pikey morrissey wannabes. i mean wow, you can produce tunes, so what, we're all beautiful humans, we're all geniuses at some point or another, the force passes through, but you don't need to crap all over yourself and revel in the smell of lyrical faeces. the lyrics are crap, you have potential, but you choose to cliche until you run out of bog paper. they're unilaterally negative. they're about crap subjects. is that not the point, that talking about crap things makes one crap? not really. being crap is just an excuse. this is the problem that plagued punk music since 1968. punk is a circus act. because punk, and all the trendy "mods" that came after it, are some of the biggest sheep known to man.
why? being grimy and grim about ABSOLUTELY MOTHERFECKIN' EVERYTHING is not being anti-establishment, it's just being the hippopotamus sized hipster in the room. you're not saying anything big or clever. you're just saying "i don't care". you're all being dickheads, in other words. since when did society need even more ironically happy-clappy self-loathing, brigadeering to drag it down? you're a response to flower power, are you? even hip hop has more personality than you. i've been very tolerant of this thread and the nice humans that post in it, especially statto, who i know loves sleaford mods, but really, i'm at the end of my tether with them, and i cannot hold in my distaste for this sociological abomination any longer. that they choose to collaborate with liam howlett, who might as well be uberwanker liam gallagher, of the prodigy really marks them out as the "condoms, fag ends and vomit" of the post-punk world that beckett's j majik satirical slam was in 2004's sc quadrannual reviews (see quotation). i'm pretty pikey myself, i come from maidstone for crying out loud. that does not mean i have to wear sick on my sleeve though, does it.
honestly, "jobseeker" is the only tune my mods that has held up over time, as respectable, and that's only because of self-demonising them.
