Bad Lieutenant Sink Or Swim

I think the odds were kind of stacked against Bad Lieutenant from the start.. An awful name (though Brian's uncle liked the film), a dodgy premise (Barney Sumner and the bloke from Marion on the acoustics, bringing out the latent beauty of the former's ever-rich, soulful voice) and a rubbish last New Order album all point to the Ohdearmometer becoming overloaded before 30 seconds is up. Well actually I suppose it does some sort of job if jangly MOR dadrock is what you're after. Not horrific, but painfully average (which may well be a worse crime).. There were Electronic album tracks that were loads better than this. How the mighty have fallen.
