This is sooo good. This band really knows how to make a song soar. They can build up some energy with their quick riffing and rolling drums, and then redirect that energy like a person on fire running around looking for something to extinguish themselves with. All the while, the intensity of the flames keeps increasing until the person eventually finds the fire extinguisher after much searching and the song ends. Then another song starts! There's a real sense of urgency here that keeps me hooked. I also loved their self titled debut album, and while this one is a lot more poppy and accessible, it hasn't really lost any of the former's darkness or abstractness. This album is a great synthesis of moody anguish with ecstasy. This kind of Gothic dance is my favorite, exactly what I look for and love in music. - Matthew Foster
