VIMTV Episode #276: Cut Copy – Zonoscope

Jake: Kind of Recommended, 65/100

Tom: Kind of Recommended, 64/100

Overview: Zonoscope has some catchy melodies and great dance beats, but in general the tracks drag on for too long, especially considering how little they do. The mood of this album is still fun and enjoyable, but the core of the songwriting just isn’t that great. While it’s not offensively horrible to listen to, it’s basically just surface level “enjoyable” for us.
