Title: THE CHILD DEVIANT
Review: All of the songs on this album follow the same format...they begin with hardrock guitar sounds..the lyric sections are backed by a layer of 1980's pop beats..and the chorus sections take you into the whole neo gothic metal feel. Despite the consistency of this album...it's quite catchy and hard not to like. Unique female vocals, excellent musicianship, and overall, with this being a debute album, The Birthday Massacre have invented a style of thier own. as for thier perky image, they do look like another dark and bubbly "Hot Topic Band"...But, in truth, they are kinda creative and original. If your not caught up in being a gothicly correct purist who thinks all new music is fluff...you'll probably find yourself enjoying this album. It's different...yes, it's verry, verry, goth, ...but it's also kinda fun and playful in an unusual way. It's a good record. Well worth taking a chance on.
