Masshysteri

Sometimes not being able to understand a band drives me nuts. That's how I feel about the Swedish band Masshysteri. The music is just so poppy and enjoyable that you know you want to be singing along but short of making up your own words you really have no hope. And from what I have heard that still would not do it justice seeing as the lyrics are really well written.

Musically this album feels like it could fit in well with a lot of goth or new wave (or post-punk) or whatever hell you want to call them bands like Joy Division or the Cure. It has that moody rainy-day styled guitar and bass lines. But peppy drumming and vocals that keep it alive. Their use of female vocals to shout the males really works well.

It honestly took me a couple of listens to really get into this album. I do not know what it was initially I just could not really get into a lot of the songs. Before I knew it though I suddenly found myself gravitating to picking them on the list every once and awhile then more and more. So if you do not get into it right off the bat I definitely recommend giving it another shot. See what happens.

Thanks to Joey for the heads-up on this band!
