Love The Birthday Massacre. In general TBM just has a great 80's sensibility that's updated with a strong industrial influence and though there's something so familiar about their sound (perhaps because of those elements) they are able to generate their own unique sound. I love this sophomore album from them which includes reworked versions of songs from their first album essentially making this a re-debut of sorts. Not a bad track on the CD and though there is a consistent sound from start to finish there are certainly tracks that throw in other elements such as the classic electro-industrial-style vocals on Blue. My only criticism is that sometimes the production sounds a little full and like a wall of music being played at you but the energy of the album is great and every song is fun. A great mix of playful and heavy and interesting lyrical content. Favorite Tracks: Lover's End, Happy Birthday, Horror Show, Violet, Video Kid, and Holiday
