New Wave Outpost Forum

Interesting that her father was a 70s and 80s metal head, yet her musical output has been anything but. I assume everyone has heard of her update of "Fade to Grey" called "One Word", which got some radio airplay (which had a cover of Human League's "Sound of the Crowd" on the CD single), but on the same heavily 80s/new wave influenced album, she has a total ripoff of Ministry's "Effigy", called "Entropy." Not to mention, most of the album has a sort of Missing Persons/Berlin vibe.

That's hilarious. She even sings lyrics similar to Effigy: "We looked to our left, and turned to the right" (Ministry lyrics: "I looked to my left, and then I looked to my right"). The bass line is a little different, but definitely similar. That album's ripe for ripping off, I mean, who's gonna sue Kelly Osbourne for lifting off an album that Al hates, and is hung up in legal red tape? I doubt Arista would even bother.

I know. It's hysterical. I can't BELIEVE they got away with that. Al probably doesn't even know she recorded an album. Unfortunately, Linda Perry, who wrote the stuff on her album, should have known better. But in a weird way, it's almost like the entire album is an homage to 80s new wave (you know, a nice word for plagiarism).
