Hit the deck, kids: "Way to Fall," a ballad dripping in emotive goo before the vocals even kick in, contains the Most Absurdly Whiny Lyrics in a Britpop Song, ever. Morrissey, nothin'.
The chorus counsels thus: "Oh!/I've got something in my throat!/I need to be alone!/While I suffer!" Oh, my goodness. Whatever sun-kissed, California-classic-rock vibe Starsailor can sustain gets bitch-slapped by such cheeseball nonsense. The piano riffs on Love Is Here might sway old Supertramp devotees, but these boys take the long way home and get mugged by maudlin Britpop dwarves along the way. We all indulge our inner angst-ridden film student. We all have our cross to bear. Don't you go carrying anyone else's. I don't care how cute he is.
