brandonw.Oct 24, 2007They use a catchy style involving hopelessness and the many pitfalls of life. Without a lot of room to improve from their debut album they used all of it.

benh.Oct 30, 2007Ian's dead. Dave's sober. She Wants Revenge is the only band to energize the noirish roots of new wave. If Joy Divison isn't for you, then SWR isn't for you either. Just be honest about it instead of claiming that they "ape" those who have come before them. SWR must be on to something if the Rolling Stones are doing shows with them.

JustinZ.Oct 18, 2007Reminds me of the 80's... new wave synth at it's worst. But I love it!

DrewM.Oct 25, 2007ME WANT FOOD!! Oh sorry....I think it's pretty damn good. My girlfriend hates them after she discovered "tear U apart" could be about rape. Good stuff overall!

MounirB.Oct 19, 2007This is band is very reminiscent of the Cure in their particularly broody periods - like Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me

franke.Oct 28, 2007I don't know if its the critics who are giving this negative ratings cause you've had The National, Acrade Fire, Panda Bear, Animal Collective, and all that more abstract music all year, but this is really catchy and good to jam to. It's just as good as the new Pinback.

While a few songs put the "meh" back in melodramatic ('Walking Away,' 'This Is the End'), This Is Forever is full of catchy songs that improve on the band's first album.

Of course, nothing on This is Forever is really new territory; the 80’s influenced synthesizers, the electronic drums, the monotone vocalist, it’s all been heard before. It’s all been done so much better.

This is She Wants Revenge's "The Black Parade:" a lot dumber, but a huge improvement.
