The Faint are one of those new bands revealed in the last ten years who tend to push further the pop music business. They have the ability to sound either very 80's synth pop or punky and so much modern at the same time. I really enjoy those musical mutations! Dance Macabre was released in 2001 and it's the second album composed by the band. It's also they're best work, by head and shoulder! The sonic ambiance of this album is very dark, almost Gothic but very pop at the same time. Lyrics are somber and offensive, very effective. The tracks are short and well produced. My favourite is Posed to Death, a powerful punk/ska anthem. Agenda Suicide is also a very good song and the video is superb. This music would drive you to dance and cry at the same time, very weird! They perform correctly on stage but nothing spectacular. For anyone nostalgic about the 80's but adapted to the 21st century, this should be a winner.
