Title: You Silly Boys!
Review: CoF perfected the art of music for disconsolate, moody, maladjusted ("Goth") teens to commit suicide by. We can only hope more of 'em do -- the world's gene pool quite obviously needs a good scrubbing. It's easy to understand the attraction of this dreck -- it's atmospheric, kind of like elevator music in Dm, Dani Filth is an atrociously horrible singer, and their Edward Gorey meets soft porn cover art doubtlessly appeals to the latent Anglophile that lurks 'neath the heart of every American. (And come to think of it, some of Dani's lyrics are as awful as Byron or Shelley's worst prattlings.) CoF is amusing from a socio-cultural perspective, but musically they have all the integrity of Billy Ray Cyrus or Mariah Carey.
