Everyone listens to one band that makes absolutely zero sense with the rest of their favorite stuff - the Birthday Massacre is mine. Most of their fans are into the new wave of gothiness (which died before it was ever born, truly) and I'm not and never have been. But I'd like to think that I can recognize especially good music when I hear it, and the Birthday Massacre is especially good at what they do. They write these masterfully artistic, whimsically dark, sonically vibrant songs about murdering their friends and they have trippy purple cover art. What's not to like?
"Violet" isn't my favorite TBM record, but I've still given it a pretty vast number of plays since I got it as a gift around a year and a half ago; "Horror Show" and "Lover's End" are two of my favorite Birthday Massacre compositions.
