Vivian Girls – Everything Goes Wrong

September 10, 2009 • By Chip Norman

Ladies, you’re boring.

I don’t envy the schmuck responsible for squeezing a single out of this collection of low-fi, reverb-drenched covers of Cranberry songs that no one listened to. There is no life in Everything Goes Wrong, just a monotone, hook-less “blah blah blah” over a static-filled, heinously off-key slumber party. And I don’t give a fuck who Johnny’s dating.

If everything went wrong, as the title track suggests, I would have more to write about. But I don’t, and so won’t. A more suitable title would be Nothing Goes Right.

    I”m guessing the lack of an 8.0 or above rating from Pitchfork is the reason nobody is interested in this record.

    I’d be hard pressed to think of a band less deserving of a fanbase as big as these guys have. They’ll all get fat soon from touring and people will stop paying attention so at least we have that to look forward to.

    What’s not to understand. The red haired Chick’s got big tits. I’m sure live they jiggle. Isn’t that basically all you need to market a band.

  • CRACKHEADJOE -- Sep 11th, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    Thanaton is way off because when they play live they just stand there and make pretentious jokes and play their boring songs just standing there. Sure they look nice, but without jiggling there is no point in staying after one of their songs because they all sound the same.

    one is already fat?

    i haven’t been able to turn this album off. don’t know why.
    sad to see all the misogyny on this page.

    Grass Widow is better.

  • Yikes Bikes -- Sep 14th, 2009 at 4:03 pm

    For the person that cant turn it off, is your power button stuck? I’m sorry.

    While there is an incredible amount of misogyny thus far, I don’t think it accounts for why people don’t like this band.

    being a girl, tit sack girl bands like this piss off

    Vivian Girls would suck if they were called Vivian Boys and had Y chromosomes.

    The band is straight up boring. A (female) friend of mine tried to compare them to Electrelane (a far far better band) and got nuked.

    i would have sex with the redhead if you know what i mean.

  • Sid Marcus -- Sep 27th, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    This is the type of music that pretentious people gather round, so that they can feel that they’re part of a club, that they “get it” while no one else does. Sorry, but this is garbage. If the band were men instead of women, no one would care.

  • BajaMalibu -- Oct 7th, 2009 at 8:23 am

    I am really into this album! There are so many good songs on here I don’t know what everyone is talking about!? How can everyone love the first record and then bash the shit out of this one?! People don’t make any sense…

  • super80 -- Oct 18th, 2009 at 11:24 am

    They are not great, but they aren’t that bad either. Kind of remind me a bit of Scrawl or Tsunami, from the Simple Machine days…

    To the guy that said: “I’d be hard pressed to think of a band less deserving of a fanbase as big as these guys have. ”

    I can think of one less deserving, ponytail….now they are painful.
