4.0 out of 5 stars Better with all the dark, rough edges, January 2, 2005

The first time I saw the Vanishing live, I was really impressed. It was nice to see some real alternative music - something genuinely strange. The first E.P. was good - dark & dancable in a sort of early 80's, proto-Siouxsie sort of way, but with a little edginess about it. Then came the first album, S.F.P.C., which included songs from the original EP but rerecorded with higher production values + some new material. The first album seemed to lack the hypnotic chaos of their live shows. This new album has them back on track: spooky, tense atmosphere & tight lurking rhythms. It's great to hear them move away from anything radio friendly to really capture more of the hypnotic tension of their live sets - with all the rough edges. If you like the Faint, Interpol + Joy Division, early Siouxsie & the Banshees and Fad Gadget, this deserves space in your collection!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Still Lifes Are Failing (Audio CD)

Well I have to say I am some what disappointed. I didn't care for this album has I thought I would. It's ok. The music is prettty good but I didn't care for the singing that much. I like Songs for Psychoic Children much more. I would recommend that album. Psychoic Children had really great songs where you would listen to them over and over again and hyp you up. This album is just ok.
