The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers

I knew after hearing a lot of the new material at this year's Blacksun Festival, that this album would be stellar. The Birthday Massacre have built and maintained their own unique sound for many years without forsaking the ability to grow and expand.

"Walking with Strangers" brought some fresh new music to the fans, along with some old favorites remastered. Any long-time fan will thoroughly enjoy the new versions of such songs as "Remember Me" and "To Die For" - and if you're really paying attention, you'll pick up the reworked lyrics in "Looking Glass" from a collaboration The Birthday Massacre did with Vanity Beach several years ago on "The Knight Murders." In all respects, this album definitely feeds the craving of current fans.

As far as the new material goes, there are some great new works from the band, including their first single "Kill The Lights" as well the bass-blowing masterpeice "Red Stars". However, I was a bit disappointed to find that several of the other songs on this album just didn't quite live up to the quality of the aboved mentioned, or their previous works.

Suggested Tracks:
"Looking Glass"
"Red Stars"
"Kill The Lights"
"Remember Me"
