Driving A Million is a classic case of style over substance. The production is pompous, wherein underdeveloped melodies receive the full treatment of orchestral strings and moody atmospherics. The Moon is the perfect example. This isn t the 1960 s. People aren t fooled into thinking stream of consciousness dribble passes for mystical insight anymore.
Psychedelic drugs are for hippies and ravers.
Most of the rest of us should be sober enough to call a pile of shit a pile of shit when we smell it. The band doesn t stop the thievery at glam, of course. Radio Gun steals a sonic trick or two from Kevin Shields playbook for sure. The music in this song isn t horrible- just generic. The guitars actually have an impact, splaying with shrillness from countless effects and mega-slick production techniques.
