The Birthday Massacre: a band that knows what music should sound like, and then delivers it. The driving guitars go to the edge without going over. Chibi's siren's song vocals deliver the most bitter of lyrics with the sweetest conceivable smoothness. Any single track from this album would be a stellar standout on a release from other mere mortals. Cold Lights; Like Fear, Like Love; and Precious Hearts all rank among the greatest songs ever gifted to the ears of humankind.
