Album Review: The Beautiful Girls - Dancehall Days

Following a four-year hiatus from the moniker The Beautiful Girls, Mat McHugh returns under the title for the release of Dancehall Days. At only eight tracks (not including opener, The Beautiful Girls Are Dead, which sounds like 20 seconds of bad Slipknot) Dancehall Days mightn’t be worth the purchase price. The title track is a solid roots production; however, the LP as a whole would have to do without its tiresome middle tracks and provide more like standout penultimate song, Survival, to justify you opening your wallets for any kind of chart-boosting purchase.
