There's a reason we're not called "Pleasant Reviews"

"I Don't Know (Where I'm Going To)" by Carol Alban is sappy, dimwitted and poorly executed.

If Yanni and Alanis went to Ireland and toured the Ring of Kerry aboard an air-conditioned motor coach, absorbing Disneyfied "traditional" entertainment en route, the result would be the same.

A bad fine arts education at SFSU is no excuse for this lackluster sugar-fest.

By the way, is this song 22 minutes long, or is it just me?

Technically speaking, I am sure it is possible to write and record worse music than Carol Alban. I am a firm believer in humankind's ability to perpetually lower itself to the very bottom of the barrel. Have you ever heard deaf people scream? It is pretty awful and right on par with what Carol Alban is doing on this song.

I don't know what else to say. Oh wait. The music is really weak and the addition of the flute only hurts the overall song. Why the hell would you have a flute in an acoustic guitar song anyway? It would be like having a french horn in Stray Cats' song. Out of place and adding nothing.

I don't know where Carol Alban is going to, either. I do know she is not going on tour. Cause her audiences would beat her to death on the spot.

My Review

[That song] is so bad I just puked up 2 pints of Whitby Black Dog and a bottle and a half of Anjou Rouge laughing.

Ruthless Ratings
