    Ultimately, by pushing the dance beats and the slabs of synth to the foreground, the Sounds have increased their pop appeal and delivered an album that pleases your ears while also demanding that you leave your blood on the dancefloor.

    Their fourth album amps up the synths-and-beats side of their new wave Scandi-rock aesthetic, with broadly positive results. [Jul 2011, p.94]

    I think this is THE SOUNDS best album, all the songs get stuck in your head and they are catchy. I like their attempt at a new change of style.

    Something To Die For may not be their best album, but it certainly contains catchier songs that will be stuck in your head a while after listening to it.… Expand
