For those who already know, its not what is next, but what is. They make modern synthed out rock, yet hail from a town in Nerbraska. This does not limit or imply they don't wield their guitars like axes. The Faint have explored their synthesizers with finesse and honesty to gather their own sound, but clearly they also have created some brutal dance floor slayers. I can't remember, and not always for just lack of sobriety, how many times the whole house has imploded towards the dance floor for their album Dance Macabre's, classics like Agenda Suicide, and Glass Danse World. These songs have sex appeal. This album even went on to get remixed by some notables, but I won't hold this against The Faint. Their newest album “Wet From Birth” saw The Faint honourably evolve. They incorporate violins, bells, and the unidentifiable. The flux of bands tailored towards the dance floor recently is a mere coincidence because while The Faint may be eligible for the dance floor, it retains an independent enjoyable cool. By Alex Fry
