in the stinking shitpile of music that was the timeperiod that this was written in more than likely circa 2002 - 2003, bands like N Sync and Briteney Spears were impossible to get away from. with that, you heard stupid korn kids and metalheads spouting off things about how love songs suck, and how pop is garbage. well, if youve only heard the kind of stuff that was being spewed out of record companies asses at the time, of course you would think this, but to any true pop fan that knew "good pop," this was sickening. the darkness were baisically saying, hey love songs dont all have to be bad, pop doesnt always suck, and here we are to kick your ass off. at the time i saw this band, i was awe struck and appaled all at the same time, to me, this really was art. i saw the eightees and spandex come back before my eyes, mindless self indulgence singing and dressing style seriously bitten, and possibly the funniest video ive ever seen. to me this is true art and thank god that someone could actually write something interesting in the mainstreem without the help of the neptunes. get this on vinyl, cd, or eight track if its all you could afford, its very good.
