Album Review
Their fourth album, Pins and Needles finds the Birthday Massacre evolving their sound, pushing their synth rock into bigger and more atmospheric directions with the help of some slick production and a more refined approach to songwriting. While the album still has the dark, gothic tone the band is known for, the songs here also have an industrial vibe to them. With production by Skinny Puppy producer Dave “Rave” Ogilvie, it’s clear where Pins and Needles' newfound heaviness comes from. Fortunately for the Birthday Massacre, this new sound works for them. The thick, crunchy guitar work and spacy synthesizers blend together well, giving the songs a more spacious feeling and creating some wide open spaces for singer Chibi’s vocals to explore. Longtime fans might have to do some adjusting to this more straightforward approach, but if they stick with it, they’ll find Pins and Needles to be the Birthday Massacre’s biggest and most expansive record yet.
Customer Reviews
Geniuses in black.
This band is known for cranking out great lyrics, hooks and melodies left and right. Featuring 80's inspired synth pop melted with guitar grinding rock, every song is held together by singer Chibi's crystal-clear voice. While some of the vocals are not as up-front and clear as in the previous albums (I had to look up the lyrics for some of the songs), the whole package meets the already high standards set by the band. You will wear out your iPod playing this music!
Can It Get Any Better?
Man was I blowed away to hear this new release. Pins and needles is simply outstanding. I could not find a single track that I did not like. Addicting is correct! This band has their act together and puts a huge effort into the music they release. Thanks TBM!
More than great...
This is their best album yet. I love it!
