The title alludes to being stuck between a rock and a hard place: the devil and the Deep Blue Sea. This goes back to the age old example of the same occurrence which appeared in the odyssey: Scylla and Charybdis. Odysseus would have to make a decision of either losing 6 men to Scylla, a six headed monster that refers to a rock formation, or Charybdis, a monster that sucks you down into the ocean which refers to a whirlpool. This situation also implies that a choice must be made: a decision. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" Track Info. Written By XYLØ & Chase Duddy
In the album’s defence, the band, pop metal producer Howard Benson and their squad of hired songwriters have done a fairly good job approximating the BSC sound, and there are two gems in here. Such A Shame is a scary look into the life of a fallen angel of a girl, forced to strip for a living – such honesty about the painful truth of a male-dominated society have not been heard in something so mainstream since Aerosmith’s Janie’s Got A Gun. They are simple pleasures, enjoyable when I am not looking for anything deep, just a simple pop hook and a catchy chorus. BSC were better than that, though. A complete lack of passion - replaced with calculation – pervades the entire album bar its two best songs. Any other band would get a 3/5 for this - for offering up a definitively bog-standard release saved by two standout moments.
