Humanzi – ‘Diet Pills and Magazines’ (Polydor) Released 17/07/06

For a split second it looked like there was hope for the new Humanzi single. It started with a yelp and a splash of anarchy only to be dropped into a rather bland pond. The song feels as if it is played at half its natural speed giving it a chugging rhythm which begs to be quickened. This also isn't helped by the accompaniment which consists of a simple guitar riff repeated to the max complete with an overblown guitar solo. Nevertheless, the band appear to be proud of this by providing an overlong introduction before the druggy vocals creep in reminiscent of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club without the gritty, drawling appeal.
