Maybe I'm a bit old on this, but this is Singaporean music too so I'm giving this a go. The challenge for the Great Spy Experiment is, after you've belted out a song like "Class A Love Affair 2007" at the beginning, you've got to build up on it, tear it down, or continue its blistering strength consistently for the rest of the album. And what does the Great Spy Experiment do? "The Great Decay" tries hard to emulate it, and "Siti in the City" is their final attempt, but nothing can save this album from being bleedingly average. 2007 might be have been the Year of Alternative, but playback factor for the Great Spy Experiment is as dim as the back burner it is.
