Product Description

Amazon.ca

The old saying goes that if you pretend to be something long enough, you'll eventually become it. If this is true, then the men of the Faint must have spent a lot of time between their rocking debut album, Media, and their third full-length, Danse Macabre, practicing their Duran Duran, Cure and Depeche Mode impressions. In the process, they have become all that is, was and probably ever shall be good about new wave music, combining arty electronics with smart social commentary to create an album that is sublime in its ability to recall more goth-rock times while still coming across as entirely original. Songs such as "Posed to Death" and "The Conductor" take on sounds of the band's contemporaries--in these cases, Marilyn Manson and Daft Punk, respectively--but their doing so seems rooted in clever reclamation of new wave sounds appropriated by current artists. In making angular, passionate and hypnotic music, the Faint are not out to give a history lesson but rather to move a languorous generation of indie kids. And whether mentally or physically or both, Danse Macabre will do just that. --Sarah A Sternau

Product Description

2003 album and third so far from Nebraska's electo-rockers. Highly recommended, NME gives the album 8 out of 10. City Slang.

5.0 out of 5 stars another giant step forward! Aug 22 2001
By soundandimage
Format:Audio CD
After the justly popular "Blank Wave Arcade," the techno-dance guru's THE FAINT have taken a giant step into the future of electronic pop with the dark, trippy, infectious DANSE MACABRE. Faint fans out there have been chomping at the bit to get their hands on their latest release and they won't be disappointed! "Agenda Suicide" is a deadly dance classic about the hopelessness of working 9 to 5 at a job you hate. "Violent" and "Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen" are some of the most sonically and rhythmically challenging music the band have ever recorded. I can't say enough about this album, buy it, dance to it...NOW!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Mix of Sounds May 8 2004
By "depressedunholyone"
Format:Audio CD
This CD has very diverse sounds on each track. The best songs on this CD are: The Conductor, Agenda Suicide, and Let The Poison Spill from Your Throat. The other songs were so-so, the listed songs are just way more powerful. This is a good CD to go running to, just the right blend of beats and sounds to get you going. I was surprised with the amount of lyrics for each song, because usually in this genera of music the lyrics are lacking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addicting April 9 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I LOVE this album. I friend of mine recommended I check it out so I bought it. However I didn't listen to it for awhile (a year at least). Finally I decided to give it a try and from the 1st track I was hooked. Every time I get the chance I put it on for others to hear and I have yet to find the person who doesn't at least say it's catchy. I find it funny that kids from Nebraska make great 80s "eurotrash" pop. I'm listening to the album right now--you should be too.

Sounds like Depeche Mode? Vocals like the Cure? These statements are quite a stretch for this amatuerish album. Read more

I recently purchased this disc, along with electro duo Fischerspooner's "#1" and I must say, The Faint beat Fischerspooner by a mile with this album. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but short
I recently picked this album up while on a new music search. I found it to be excitingly crispy and it kicks out some real crunchy keyboards and drums. Read more

Faint, I just have to tell you. I don't think we're right for each other. I know that your really popular, and a lot of people like you, but for some reason, I just can't. Read more

The Faint have done it once again. Danse Macabre drips with sex, violence, keyboards, and some damn good drum machines. Read more
