Simple Minds - "She's A River"
I don't know if that song was a hit in the Top 40 but it's definitely in the 80s Pop vein, drums are up front, a lot of synths, can't tell if it is a sequencer or bass, (not crazy about the guitars), over-emotive growly vocals. 6/10

Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea

Another metal song for retards. Meh, a decent hook, a bit of a riff, let's go with a 6/10.

With a band name like "Merauder" and a song title like "Master Killer", I think this is a statement to be assumed rather than made explicit. Philistine. And you forgot to post your own video.

Ah, the sweet irony. It's there now.

There's a problem when your music video is considerably more entertaining than your boring song. And that because of... NOT THE BEES!!! 4/10

Just jumping in here for a second, the track D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S was one of my first experiences with the genre, and because of that Modern Life Is War will always hold a special spot in my heart.

You're doing it right, though I prefer MLIW's more atmospheric tracks. They do both styles well, but the uniqueness of their more laidback songs just makes them seem more unique.

Witness is the only album of their's that I'm familiar with, and it's been a few years since I've listened to it last. I think it might be time that I go back and check some more of their stuff out though.

The instrumentation on there is pretty good, but I'm not a huge fan of the vocalist. It gets a little easier to sit through as the track goes on though. 7.5/10
