Lola Ray - I Don't Know You
Reviewed by be2
Pop-rock bands with punk tendencies are a dime a dozen these days, and Lola Ray is no exception. I can’t see past the fact that these tracks don’t journey outside of the pop/punk template the CD follows. That this album was released on Good Charlotte’s label might be an indication of the cookie cutter syndrome that plagues Lola Ray. It’s true that the album occasionally rocks, but only occasionally. The track “Plague (We Need No Victims)” pounds into your skull for the duration of the 3:09. “Automatic Girl” lets you know how easy it can be to rock with insensible lyrics. Perfect for radio. I Don’t Know You is a standard pop punk junk album—nothing of substance no matter how hard you try and listen. Granted, these cats may be the dope live, but they are a one trick pony in an oversaturated genre. [www.lolaray.com]
