This is the kind of song where I just wanna quote every damn line. I’ll just go with “I tried not to be the fool / But I’ve given up on it”. Drawbacks is blessed with potent anachronism, an uncanny nostalgia in theme and sonics, shining with a shout-along chorus cry of self-deprecation, chugging along with The Cars style riffs. Bang on, on point rock ‘n’ roll resigned to dirtbaggery, Gold FM scope on a garage scale.
