| 1.5 very poor | elgaberino | December 4th 07 |
These two guys clearly spent forever burying themselves deep in the dramatic mindset that typified goth music in the early 80's. While they've definitely caricatured that genre well, I think they meant this to be a tribute to it and executed it rather poorly. Those who like Joy Division are probably going to listen to Joy Division, and are probably not going to listen to this. Either way, this is perfect fare for wide-eyed adolescents who feel sorry for themselves, are unjustifiably obsessed with social drama, and want to have mindless sex immediately because they've just hit puberty and don't know what else to do. For the rest of us, it was nice to imagine another Interpol on the scene, but after listening to the disc, most of us feel like putting this album on someone else's shelf, having a stiff drink, and going to bed. Get over it, yeah? We have work in the morning. I say friends don't let friends wallow in myspace-era self-pity and isolationist sensuality.

This is a pop band that has laid on as many superficial similarities to Goth Rock and Post-rPunk as they could to sound dark and edgy without attempting anything remotely original. rResulting in 13 tracks of redundant, cliche lyrics about lost love, night clubs and teen rsex wedged. I believe that a more accurate name for this band would be "He Wants rRevenge", considering that the vocalist spends almost all 13 tracks whining about and rcontemplating all the things he could do to this woman who cut him deep. Admittedly, I do rrather like the vocals and feel that they could be put to better use.

Very boring and monotone if played too much. A lot better in doses, even if it's very redundant.

More or less the manifestation of averageness, this album is a pleasant enough listen if you're in the mood for some dark, mellow, dance-able pop songs. Unfortunately, the band doesn't have any of the genius of the bands they're most often compared to (Joy Division and Interpol among them). A few stand out tracks, a few pleasant-but-forgettable tracks, a few absolute grimace moments.

I don't care what anyone says this album is amazing. I love it. I think the only thing stopping this band from being truly incredible is that honestly they really are horrid live.
