Title: So Retro it's Fresh
Product review: The Faint is one of those great 80s bands that never actually existed in the 80s. They're like a cross between Adam Ant, Camper Van Beethoven, and Bauhaus. The Faint is a wonderfully refreshing breath of stale air. Not dance music, but awesome to listen to. Guitars mix with heavy sythns and a good singing voice (deep but at times similar to David Lowery, the guy from Cracker) to produce several great tracks. The songs all have subject matter and a certain intensity about them that only grows with each subsequent listen. My favorite track is the conductor, which piles on a deeply electronically distorted voice on top of some epic guitar rifs.It also makes an old fart like me feel cool because all the young Emo punks listen to it.
