The album presents fourteen original songs, all credited to all four ensemble members with lyrics by Maslak and Augustyn. The album´s title sums it up for me perfectly, as this music has absolutely nothing worth remembering. As harsh as it sounds, I simply can´t find anything good to say about this music; it´s derivative, unoriginal, mediocre and lacking any ambition. Of course I might be getting terribly old and my hearing might be getting weak, but since I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who and Cream, today´s rock is simply ridiculous in its plainness and primitivism. The songs have lyrics in English, which of course means that they are sung with a non-native accent. I even made the effort to read the lyrics and believe you me – poetry it ain´t. In short, this is definitely not my cup of tea, although I still love good Rock when I can get it.
