 A Bit Of A Sophmore Slump, But Overall A Solid TBM Record October 17, 2007
About 8 months ago by pure chance, I came across one of the greatest records I have ever had the privilege of hearing called "Violet" by The Birthday Massacre. It was probably the boldest most well written piece of musical art that I would shamelessly blast out of my car and work without hesitation. I was an instant fan and was even more overjoyed to learn that the band was to release their second album soon this year. Well, the second record finds the band solidifying their sound within the boundaries of an unexplored genre they practically invented.
Although the band seems to have progressed lyrically, musically Walking With Strangers seems at the same level (if not weaker than) Violet. And unlike Violet there were a few songs I found myself skipping over.. There are plenty of good things to say about this record though, don't get me wrong. The first single "Red Star" is fantastic and probably the bands heaviest song just behind "Broken"; "Looking Glass", "Kill The Lights", "Weekend" and "Unfamiliar" are all excellent; "To Die For" is my favorite song on the record and a fantastic, and in my opinion, superior remake of the original. In conclusion, I would like to hear the band experimenting a bit more and push the boundaries even further, but what we have here is a solid record that overall strengthens the bands catalog and makes me anxious for the next one. Pick this one up if you already have Violet and go see the band live!

I saw these guys on Vampirefreaks and immediately took a liking to them. They are loud, whimsical and just a little disturbing. All but 2 of the songs on this album are excellent. If you like altenrative industrial- give these guys a try.
