Los Angeles Joy Division-obsessed duo She Wants Revenge blend electronic beats with goth pop misery on their self-titled Geffen debut. DJs Justin Warfield and Adam "Adam 12" Bravin may have crafted the post-punk equivalent of XTC alter-egos Dukes of Stratosphear's psychedelic rock tribute Chips from the Chocolate Fireball, but there is suspicion as to whether or not it was intentional. Like fellow reanimators Interpol, the Bravery, or even the mysterious Lansing-Dreiden, She Wants Revenge love early Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, and pre-Land of Rape and HoneyMinistry, but what makes their impeccably crafted, highly listenable/danceable collection of angst so dubious is its utter duplicity. There's nothing wrong with honoring your influences by copping a few moves and singing in a fake British accent like Green Day with the intentions of updating a genre that many potential listeners are too young to have experienced first-hand, but it's another thing to do it without even the slightest deviation. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
There are a ton of empty tracks (13 through 65) entitled "Wasted Air". Track 66 is a hidden track on the disc called "Killing Time". It's not a mistake.
For sure this album is a great one, along with their second one that came out in October of 2007. They are a very talented band in which they did a great job making the second album just a great as the first. They are just great. Keep up the good work guys.
One of the best CDs of 2006...and check out Untitled Track 66 (a great song!). Sure, any band can be compared to another band with similar sounds but really, who cares?! Just listen and you'll agree...it's a great CD!!
