The band is badass, no doubt about that, a cool band. Apocalypse Love is brimming with spooky rock and roll-ness. It is an album on which the band has differed themselves from their previous selves, as heard on Sing In A World That’s Falling Apart. Stolen Valor is anthemic, a country tune, with piano stylings similar to Floyd Cramer. Sounds here are influenced by Bowie, circa Diamond Dogs, (i.e Crying on A Plane, )… Also has a hip-hop-influenced ballad that is my favrotie one, “Sharing My Cream.” Lost Angel is spooky-sounding.

How occult! How mystical!

I gotta say the lyrical content is based, from The Black Lips.
