Vannak olyan dalok, amiket ha egyszer meghallunk, akkor soha nem fogjuk elfelejteni, vek mlva is nekeljk ha meghalljuk valahol, s taln ez az igazi slger defincija. Persze a slger lehet j, kzpszer, s nagyon gyenge is, de szerencsre a wales-i The Automatic s Monster cm kislemezk mindenkpp az els kategriba tartozik. A Not Accepted Anywhere-en persze a Monster mellett mg jpr hatalmas indie slger is van, amiket szintn rdemes megismerni, ha valaki mg nem tette meg. Most pedig itt az j lemez, s mivel mr ismerem a wales-iek letmvt, gy nekiltok az j lemez meghallgatsnak, mely a This Is a Fix cmet kapta. Ami az elz lemezen a Monster volt, az most a Steve McQueen, s most itt nem akarok hasonltgatni, mert a maga mdjn mindkett remek dal, br az j kislemezdalt tbbszr kell meghallgatni, hogy ugyangy megfogja az embert, mint eldje. Az Automatic szinte az sszes mostanban divatos zenei mfajt belesrtette ebbe a rapszodikus, rendkvl sok vltssal telepakolt dalba, van itt amcsi rock, new rave, emo, indie, amit sszehozni nem ppen veszlytelen prblkozs, de sikeresen vettk az akadlyt. A szmok felptse inkbb amerikai, de a zene mgis teljes egszben brit. Ha hasonl zenekart akarunk keresni, akkor az Idlewild-ot lehet megemlteni, de a Manic Street Preachers s az Ash hatsa is rezhet. Steve McQueen, In the Mountains, Sleepwalking, Magazines, In the Mountains, This Ship, Accessories, ezek mind olyan slgerek, amiket mindannyian szvesen nekelnnk egy pubban, valahol a kds albionban.
