Athlete - Hurricane

The best music can blow you away, but Hurricane barely musters a breeze.

Single Review by Ally Brown | 08 Oct 2007
Single title: Hurricane
Artist: Athlete
Label: Parlophone
Rarely could a song about something so dangerous be so safe. Listening to Athlete's inane soft-rock drivel, the beige nothingness it represents in repetition will numb your brain. Time happens, things change, and "it's something we've got to get used to." Thanks Athlete, but most of us are used to the concept of time already, and if you're alluding to the "wind of change" then the circular destructive motion of a hurricane makes it a shite analogy, frankly. The best music can blow you away, but Hurricane barely musters a breeze. [Ally Brown]
