Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll (2005)




Every now and then, a rock and roll band comes along, which not only reinvents the whole genre, but turns it upside down. So did Art Brut, on Bang Bang Rock & Roll.  They caricature and corrupt all rock conventions of the past 40 years, yet ironically manage to deliver music that's still gonna kick you in your whore ass! Hilarious lyrics ("I wanna be the man who writes the song, that makes Israel and Palestine get along"), unexpected songwriting and riffs that sound like shooting yourself in the face with a sawed-off shotgun make the British quartet's debut album  the most enyojable rock record of the past decade.
