Amoeba Review

10/01/2012

No coming of age here — The Vaccines' second album is more of the same raucous British punk that served them so well on What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? Frontman Justin Young sings of all the things that could inspire him but don’t on “No Hope,” undercutting his own band’s Strokes-style joyous guitar exercise with avid paranoia: “I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin but the whole thing feels like an exercise in trying to be someone I would rather not be.” On the band’s other catchiest song, the Pixies-indebted “Weirdo,” Young sings of so many of his imperfections — being neurotic, insecure, controlling, etc. — that it could sink the song if not for the buoyancy of his band’s skewed surf-rock riffs and Young’s resolute “I’m not a weirdo” refrain. Come of Age can at times feel very “spot the influence,” but it works, given the band’s ease with a hook and Young’s insistence on self-deprecating lyrics over the cocky party-rock mentality this kind of thing could have easily fallen into. That combination of brashness and self-doubt does make Come of Age feel a bit like adolescence, after all.

Track Listing

2011's much hyped What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? had some solid moments that skillfully blended the snarky dissatisfaction of the Kaiser Chiefs with the stadium-ready, sonic expansiveness of late-period Jesus and Mary Chain, but the overall effect was one of calculated redundancy. Like the Kaisers, the Vaccines feel like a singles band trying to hold out for a solid greatest-hits collection, and Come of Age, while not as immediate as its predecessor, gets the job done with workmanlike precision. Come of Age dispenses with the bombast of the band’s debut, offering up 11 relatively disparate tracks that aim for the main floor instead of the nosebleed seats, and at its best (“Teenage Icon,' “Bad Mood,” “Aftershave Ocean”), it serves as a serviceable stand-in for the Libertines, the Arctic Monkeys, and the Strokes of the world. The band's statement of purpose is summed up nicely in the first stanza of the ramshackle opener 'No Hope,' which finds Justin Young declaring 'I could make an observation/If you want the voice of a generation/but I'm too self absorbed to give it clout.' It’s a fitting summary of what in essence is the job description for what the Vaccines do, and while they’re certainly not alone in their crusade to provide an appropriate soundtrack for the 'meh' generation, they’ve got it down to an elementary science. Simplistic, smart ass lyrics paired with simplistic, semi-ironic melodies will always be relevant, and by turning down the reverb, learning some new chords, and laying to waste any notion that they're here to herald in a new era of English guitar rock, the Vaccines have crafted a perfectly acceptable sophomore record that neither helps nor harms them, which is probably exactly what they wanted.
