This was inevitable I suppose. Emo for the teen market. McFly if life was a little more unfair. Tweemo, anyone? This song is rank. Whiny, shiny and likely to be very popular, 'The White One is Evil' is a cynical attempt at diluting a weak genre and appealing to the masses with (presumably) that old “at least they play their own instruments” line. The tune is nothing new, it's just more over-produced than most, contains cheesy noodling and seems to genuinely believe in it's musical integrity. The use of the word “shit” is the only suggestion that this might be aimed at anyone over the age of twelve. But then, kids these days. No respect. For only a kid could find this remotely edgy.

Lyrically, well, let the lyrics speak for themselves...
Downtown, I'm going by the store
Oh look, she's coming back for more
I need to run, don't wanna catch me
Today's she's serious
Say no more. If primary school kids suddenly start to wear guyliner, you'll know where it started. This is one band that could do with being aborted.
