Album: Elliot Minor, Elliot Minor

They're regarded as the next big thing in pop ... But despite a rich musical
background Elliot Minor fail to deliver the expected bag of goodies.
ELLIOT MINOR
Elliot Minor
(Repossession)
They cannot be blamed for effort — but maybe it's a case of trying too hard.
EM specialise in combining rock and classical music — guitar with piccolo.
The York five-piece also do a mean three-way vocal harmony.
This results in an over-complicated strange brew and each track more a
mini-opera than a pop tune. At its best this should sound like a mix of
Muse,Queen and Jim Steinman's work with Meat Loaf.
What you get, though, is Busted crossed with The Darkness. Very strange
indeed!
