Decided to try this out with all the fanfare for pins & needles...maybe I started with the wrong album but I found this incredibly blah

I love this album. It's my favorite one. What was your issue with this and I'll try to tell you whether you're wasting your time with this band.

It felt like garbage if they had never heard of dynamics...I enjoyed the atmosphere and the vocals, it just seemed soooo flat to me. Might just be lack of plays though

The songwriting on this album is some of the best I have heard from any band.

I like Garbage (especially their second album), and this defintely doesn't have the energy level or diversity of that album. Walking With Strangers has a better chance than any of their other albums of you enjoying it, but the goth influence keeps these guys pretty focused on a mid-paced tempo that doesn't really change too much, and they basically use the same sounds/ideas in each song with simple variations.

I guess I haven't had much exposure to anything "goth" per se, so I won't give up but was really shocked at how little the sound varies



Thanks Willie, you're always helpful

When the music hits your eardrums your brain will explode into a million multi-colored pieces.

Multi-coloured yes, but mostly purple and black.

No disagreements there, song is pretty much a rubber ball.

It's been a shame that I've not gotten this before now, but Walking With Strangers was good enough to occupy my time for a year straight - loving this so far.
