We're far too young to remember who the Nolans are, but we're aware that one of them does the Iceland ads and possibly used to be on Loose Women (we need to hire a fact checker). If 'Iceland' and 'Loose Women' mean nothing to you, you are probably a foreign and/or you live in a box in which case MOVE ON. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
Oh but wait, there is! For the Nolans, who had one hit back in the 1340s and have continued to try and wring cash from it every since, are releasing a new album. Does it contain glitteringly arch post-pop Xenomania masterpieces? No, of course not (it does feature a COVER of a glitteringly arch post-pop Xenomania masterpiece, though). It's a load of dodgy old crap with a lot of dodgy old covers thrown in.
We mean, REALLY. A cover of "The Promise" was to be expected, but a cover of "So What" by P!nk?! Do we really want to hear 'olds' (and we'd say this about men too, sexism watchdogs) singing about still being a rockstar?! Crikey and a cripes and a christ on a bike. Obviously all the criticism we've just heaped at the album is just jealousy, because we just KNOW that this will top our best albums of 2009 feature. Move over Batty Lashes and Patrick Wolf. Move over Regina, Gossip 'et al'. This looks like the one to beat.
