Ignore the Ignorant might be a technically better album than earlier Cribs efforts, but it’s a hell of lot less fun.Opening your album with a track called “We Were Aborted”?

I've been listening to The Cribs' latest album on repeat frequently, and it's made things slightly more bearable. These guys really know their way around a catchy chorus, without a lot of frills. It's just wel...
*1- The Cribs: Men's Needs*It's a sign of these metrosexual times that the pop world's most radical feminist is a man. In down-to-earth Northern English tones Ryan Jarmin gets real on the subject of sexual politics in _Men's Needs_. His narrator informs a girlfriend that "man's needs are full of greed...girl's needs just don't agree", and in doing so, probably ruins the chance of getting his le...
