Advantages: Alright slasher Disadvantages: It's been done before. Lynda Day
It's 1942 a young boy is playing peacefully I his bedroom. However, somehow it's a jigsaw of a naked woman he has and his mother is annoyed at discovering this and finding heaps of pornography hidden all over his bedroom. She demands that he goes and gets her the matches so she can burn it all but the weird child being a true blue porn fan instead gets an axe and brutally, albeit very unrealistically, kills his mother. He is then found in the blood covered room after cutting her into several pieces.
Many years later and we have a random scene of a woman skating about on some University grounds before she crashes into two men carrying a mirror across a road. That scene seems pointless and is forgotten. But then another young woman is sitting on the lawn reading her book when she is disturbed by a man with a chainsaw cutting ...

Advantages: Great variety of musical styles and moods, quality songs Disadvantages: Won't change the world
In 2008, Primal Scream, who have now been going for a staggering 26 years, released Beautiful Future, their 9th studio album. They started out as part of the Scottish indie scene that gave us Jesus and Mary Chain, but left behind their jingle, jangle sound to take on a more rocky sound. They've been in and out of the charts over the years and have collaborated with various other artists (Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine, Barnie Sumner, Robert Plant, The Chemical Brothers to name but a few).
There is no way a band can survive 26 years unless they keep moving, morphing, trying new things, whilst maintaining some thread of a story. Not only will most of the audience get bored with them, but they too risk getting stale and disinterested. I guess that Primal Scream have managed to do something different with each of their 9 albums ...
Advantages: an incredible fusion of rock and dance music Disadvantages: none!
Primal Scream are the ultimate fantasy rock band.They couldn't be more perfect had they been created in a factory.Through their career they've embraced techno,Rolling Stones esque blues,acid house,rock-abilly,indie and electro.They are the rock band that make you want to dance.The white indie band that don't seem out of place in a club.This is their third album and marks a massive departure from the first two records.After leaving the Jesus and The Mary Chain, Bobby Gillespie formed Primal Scream with the aim of making classic rock with a twist.The first two records 'Primal Scream' and 'Sonic Flower Groove' were standard rock affairs and totallyout of place in the early 1990's, when dance was the ruling musical genre and ecstacy its driving force.
So Primal Scream, rather than react against this movement, embraced dance music ...
