In a way, there’s a sad poetic beauty to this album’s fate. Here, we have this powerful, cutting, incisive portrait of an entire generation that’s been economically fucked by previous generations’ greed. And it’s not coming out the way it was supposed to because a baby-boomer new wave legend decided that he doesn’t want his song associated with it. This album deserves better, just like this entire generation deserves better.
Album Of The Week: Car Seat Headrest Teens Of Denial – Stereogum
Teens of Denial is the album I’m most looking forward to this year, and now its physical release will be delayed, because Ric Ocasek (Cars) won’t grant permission to the reworking of one of his old songs. Nevertheless, I can’t wait.
