I try. I try so hard not to be that girl who can't let go of the past, the one who clings desperately to I Know and Ask For Answers. Bands grow, and bands change, and I know that - can usually forgive them that, love them for that, at the least accept that - whichever as applicable. I mean, I loved a lot of the songs on Meds, and I think I even listened to Bright Lights once or twice.
The point is that things change! And that's a good thing. I love falling in love with a band and watching their maturation.
I just can't get over the fact that they used the wrong accent on communiqué at 0:22, and no accents at all on Champs-Élysées (0:12). BRIAN MOLKO SPEAKS FRENCH. The others might as well, I'm not sure.
I despise that font - despise - and I was originally going to rant about how it was just so goddamn boring, but you know, I think I have decided that that actually works for the song. If nothing else, they never used to be boring; see, for example let's follow the cops back home and rob their houses.
Nothing about this video screams capslock. It sounds like a trivial complaint, but when you are making a lyric video, it's almost all that you've got, so it's really, really not.
Brian still sounds good, but everything background is just so BLAH. I find it really hard to look forward to the rest of the album.
Is the song about having online friends? I'm okay with that. I just wish they had more feeling about it. Once more with feeling...
