2 1/2
Indie electronica that helped mildly pave the way for acts like Panic at the disco to break through will be as good as you consider that reference, as I find the disc nowadays to remain merely competent throughout, featuring decently produced but ploddingly predictable edginess. |

Wet From Birth

| This is absolutely the strangest album I have ever listened to. I guess I had a bit of a heads up since I'd heard their previous music and the song "I Disappear" but nothing can brace you for this half hour of madness. One of the most notable changes to the band is the first thing you hear on the album, and that is the excess of violin. There were a lot more small changes in the band's style which clarified their transition to more of a dance-punk band than a new wave project, as they were previously known to be. This also proved to be their creepiest album, with their signature haunting lyrics taken to a whole new level. I was fine with this up until the song "Erection." Now, I could tell by the title that it was going to be a weird song, but every single lyric in the song makes me cringe. It was also the only song on the album that I didn't like, lyrics aside. And we can't forget the last song, "Birth," in which Todd Fink (or Baechle?) sings about being born as if it happened yesterday. "In the beginning there was semen / In a deep mound of flesh / And a crest that traveled / On a wave of their own mess." Gross, Todd. Gross. (Note: If you are a Dead Kennedys fan, check out "Drop Kick The Punks." The similarities are uncanny.) |

 Not as catchy as "Danse Macabre", but still some standout tracks

| Personally, I prefer The Faint's more danceable retro new wave sounds, and here, you get 5 such tracks, but they are definitely goodies: Desperate Guys, How Could I Forget, I Disappear, Paranoiattack, and Symptom Finger. The remaining tracks are suprisingly subdued instead of alt rockers you might expect, but most of them are worthy of multiple listens. Hot album. |

| This is a great danc-y album in keeping with your typical "Faint" sound. There are some great songs on here (Southern Belles, I'm looking at you) but there are overall more low points on this disc than there were on Danse Macabre. Certainly, this record is dancy and hot, but overall I'd rather listen to Danse all the way through than this one. |
