This Is Forever

Customer Reviews:

• great times: this cd came within a week, there was no tracking on it, but it came fast so i didn't mind. Great cd, if you got the first she wants revenge album, you'll love this. great follow up to their first cd
• I don't care what anyone says, I like it!: It sounds like a lot of 80's bands, but that is the sound they were going for and they never denied their influences. They lyrics are witty and well-written. Some of the stuff sounds like it was made on a Casio, but it adds a certain kitch quality. Very catchy and addictive and I'm glad there are new bands making new wave type music, it's better than most of the crap coming out nowadays.
• The forecast calls for clouds: She Wants Revenge is a band that's been out for a few years, and although I didn't pick up their self-titled album, I became interested in them after I heard them on Timbaland's latest album (even though I didn't like that particular song). So I picked up the duo's sophomore album, This is Forever.
  
  This album would be great -- if it were marketed as a blues album, that is. And since it isn't, there lies the problem: the subject matter is too dreary. Every song is either about their heartbreak or other people's heartbreak (see "Rachael" or "She Will Always Be a Broken Girl"). The only songs that really deviate from this formula are "It's Just Begun" and "Pretend the World Has Ended".
  
  Another problem is that as much as I like new wave music, there is absolutely no variation in the production: the album sounds like one long single. While the instrumentals "First, Love" and "All Those Moments" stand out, it still won't make you ignore the lack of variety. Fans of Depeche Mode and the Bravery (well, their first album, anyway) should still be able to enjoy this, but everyone else will probably agree that This is Forever makes forever seem like a sluggishly long time.

• She Want Revenge- This Is Forever: 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!
• I don't know where She Wants Revenge came from, but I hope they're here to stay: 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.
