The Faint - "Cars Pass In Cold Blood"

The Faint - "Cars Pass In Cold Blood": "For all their pretentiousness, I have to hand it to the Faint - they did glean some of the best of New Wave and cover it with a nice modern polish - and this song is an example of that (notwithstanding the noiserock finale). Maybe if they were less dark and just a few years later, they could have had had the success The Killers wound up getting - but anyone who sings about dark sex this much probably still wouldn't."
