Everyone is probably familiar with whiny American teenagers trying to sound like cockney punks, Tokyo-based musicians trying to sound like hip-hop "gangstas," and nearly every British guitar band of the '90s trying to sound like The Stone Roses; so here with Puzzle, France's Tahiti 80 seems so enamoured with their musical idols that they can barely voice a personal touch of their own.
