Calvin Harris: I Created Disco

18th June 2007 | by Aidan Williamson

There are some discoveries that necessitate a 'Eureka' moment. Cold Fusion, Perpetual Motion, The Bacon Air Force, for instance. Creating Disco should not be among these feats.

A vapid pointless, stylistically devoid genre from the 80's which had all the heart of Anne Robinson, with the looks to match. Disco should stay dead and buried. So, why does Calvin Harris seem bent on dragging up its crusty rat infested corpse? Who knows, but at least he's stayed true to genre and created a vapid, pointless, stylistically devoid album with all the heart.... you get the picture.

Aimlessly blundering from one track to another, virtually nothing ever changes, and this lasts for about an hour of your life too. Same chirpy keyboards, same beats, same bass, and lyrics which consist of things akin to “I like white girls, i like asian girls, i like mixed-race girls, i like....” if you desperately want to finish those lyrics off, feel free to insert every single type of woman on the planet. Too slow to be considered dancey, too crap to be considered good, Calvin Harris has painted himself into a corner, so somebody grab wooden planks and some nails and we can make sure he stays there.

Ahhh, common.

He deserves a 3 outta 10 just for that 'I got love for the 80's' song he did. It's brilliant. And though that 'I get all the girls' song has an intro well worth skipping... The bulk of it is well worth a listen.

I have to say, I disagree with this review.

Gah, more "indie sights" trying to slag mainstream music and be "fash Kids" Calvin Harris is catchy, predictable, and it's pop, but whats wrong with pop? go to a rave you metal loving middle aged losers!

Are you kidding? How can you possibly give Calvin a 1? He's a hit, admit it.
