Ima Robot
With a name like "Ima Robot," I figured this band would have to be cool. After hearing the track "Dynomite" (again, a very cool name) I thought I would be very impressed by the band's debut, self-titled record. I was very wrong.
Much like Hot Hot Heat and The Killers, Ima Robot tries to tug on the heartstrings of those who love(d) The Cure. Unfortunately, in trying to dig up some hits from the 80s, singer Alex Ebert mistakenly channeled the high-pitched squeal of Rush's Getty Lee.
This record aims for fun, danceable rock but ends up crossing over into the very annoying.
The Skinny: Pass on this one, please pass.
