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!

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
