Default New Faint album due in September
From thefaint.com:

"we have begun mixing our new album, Wet From Birth. it will be released september 14th on saddle creek. we will also begin to tour the world around that time."

The Faint are 15% better than your favorite band. It's an empirical fact!

i think they are a touch over rated (like most elecro rock cross over bands)

good ...but over rated

the last album was fairly patchy and too much a replicant of early Ultrvox in places to be totally credible

imo

also heard some reports of quite bad live shows

they can only get better

Really? I thought the last album was pretty solid - much more so than their first release. I stopped reading the music press a while ago, so I must have missed all the hype around them - Haven't seen any live reviews as a result, either. I'd be interested to see them live, though.

some of it is fantastic but some of it is a bit crap too ...to me anyway....thats what I mean by patchy

kind of frutrating when you think something is almost wonderful if you know what I mean

but they are potentially world beaters

and Im looking forward to the new LP too

I was disappointed that they weren't supporting Placebo in Dundee but then the mighty Eighties Matchbox had taken over so I cared not a jot once I heard that

I liked 'Danse Macabre' but I agree that it's not quite perfect. I guess I was just expecting too much frmo that particular album - damn the music press to hayell!
