Customer Rating:      Summary: She Want Revenge- This Is Forever Comment: If you liked their first album, you'll like this, too. There are a lot of great songs on this CD. I can't wait for their third album!
Customer Rating:      Summary: I don't know where She Wants Revenge came from, but I hope they're here to stay Comment: I never thought I would hear such a dark tale of love, loss, revenge, and redemption on a major record label. The haunting gothic tones and twisted and tortured vocals are a breath of fresh air in an industry filled with whining three-chorders. I don't know where She Wants Revenge came from, but I hope they're here to stay.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not a bad follow up, but not as good as the first. Comment: I instantly loved the first SWR, but this one isn't quite as catchy. The music itself isn't outstanding and the lyrics don't have the same zing (there are no melting popsicles in this album). There aren't any "clear" hits like there were on the original, nothing that has a real "WOW" factor. The album hasn't grown on me, but I keep hoping it will. Sigh.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty good Comment: Although this is a very good CD it is not quite as good as their 1st release. She Wants Revenge fans won't be dissapointed though.
Customer Rating:      Summary: No, it just feels like forever Comment: If you thought I was wrong comparing these goth madonnas to Depeche Mode the last time around, the comparisons are even more obvious and the territory more redundant on "Forever." It's about as dark as Mickey Mouse in a wizard skirt. Halfway through "Written in Blood," I could swear somebody chimes in with the Inspector Gadget theme. But hey, an apologist might say, their music might be a tad simplistic but I just adore them for their deep, introspective lyrics.
OK, let's take a listen: guy meets girl; guy realizes girl is eating him alive from the inside; guy realizes this is inevitable because we are all just selfish, vacuous beasts; guy ultimately realizes he is stuck with said succubus until the end of time. So it's definitely goth. I mean, no wonder so many chicks are into the goth scene: fag hags who latch onto overly emotional wallflowers when seeking out life partners so they can wrap the twerps around their mealy fingers. But really, there's no Billy Bragg -- or even dimbulb Jackson Browne for that matter -- at work in these words. I think "Melrose Place" and other shows have sufficiently covered these boy-meets-girl themes.
By the time "She Will Always Be a Broken Girl" comes withering out of the speakers, it sounds like I'm listening to a band at the end of its tether, completely immersed in some self-destructive form of electronic masturbation. Sadly, after "This is the End," there are still five more songs to go. And boy, do they ever trounce on this dead horse. It's a mockery of a mockery. A ball of energy imploding. Innards spilling out at a car wreck. Turn away. Walk away.
