Try honesty, you say? Very well. There’s a popular theory that if you gave an infinite amount of monkeys an infinite amount of typewriters and an infinite amount of time, eventually one of them would produce the complete works of Shakespeare.
Billy Talent sound a bit like one of those experiments, if you substitute "infinite monkeys" for "four whiny Canadians", "infinite typewriters" for "two guitars, bass, drums and a vocalist who hasn’t had the decency to let his voice break", "infinite time" for "three minutes 56 seconds" and "the complete works of Shakespeare" for "third-division rock that’s been done much better by anyone from Alice In Chains to ZZ Top."
No, I didn’t like it. Try Honesty? Try getting day jobs, and practice the phrase "would you like to super-size that for 30p more?" (1/5)
