Sounding unnervingly like equal parts Pet Shop Boys and mid-'90s Britpop, 'Say You Don't Want It' is a bit catchy, a bit bouncy, a bit of everything, without actually being much of anything. The teenage lyrics are, of course, awful ("The big screens, the plastic-made dreams / Say you don't want it"), but not bad enough to really offend or entertain. It would be oh-so easy for ugly ageing reviewers to poke fun at the band's ridiculously boyish good looks and film star girlfriends, but that would probably be a bit unfair as well, so we'll desist. So, ultimately, perfect wallpaper for radio - there's very little to get excited/upset about here.
