What the heck was Spin thinking calling The Airborne Toxic Event "a blend of Brit rock sensibility and SoCal energy"?

"A blend of Brit rock sensibility and Southern California energy, the Airborne Toxic Event is what would happen if Morrissey and Franz Ferdinand shared a summer home." - Spin.com
In my opinion, the "Spin Staff" who wrote this didn't stay long enough to actually hear the rest of the songs in The Airborne Toxic Effect's first full length album. Admittedly, Does This Mean You're Movin' On? and Gasoline are catchy and on occasion, may make you want to get up and dance - or sway, more like. But truthfully, there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about this band - if you can call them that. Their sound is familiar, reminding me of some forgotten 90s band, and their music is dull and numbing. Their songs, most of which literally sound the same, do not evoke any kind of emotion and bear no trace of "Brit rock sensibility" or "Southern California energy" at all. How dare them insult the likes of Franz Ferdinand and the Beach Boys?! Hopefully, they don't stay on stage in the Coachella Festival long enough to actually bore people to death. This is music for pansies.
