Cute Is What We Aim For
Practice Makes Perfect
By Gareth Thomas
Practice Makes Perfect emerges as the introductory track on CIWWAF’s second album, Rotation. The track boasts little in innovation, in effect, a factory-produced melody boasting a bland repetitive chorus and weak vocal ingenuity from Hacikyan and co. Although a slight improvement from the clichéd one-liners and predictable instrumentation of their initial release, the record fails to distinguish itself from the efforts of Cute’s peers.
Indeed, Practice Makes Perfect fails to make a blink on the music radar. Hacikyan’s voice often abuses the luxury of auto tune, producing a generic sound many would have seen, heard, and bought the t-shirt for. The melodic structure itself embodies the predictability of the emo genre; starting quiet, progression into familiar, medium paced verses, and inevitably, a strident chorus following. Anberlin, Boy Likes Girl, Saosin; all have followed suit, and all have failed to reach the heights of those who have adapted to modernity’s yearning for musical diversity.
In this case, practice does not always produce perfection.
