The Faint - Another World

The Faint haven’t always had the convictions to match their fury. On 2014’s Doom Abuse, the Omaha electro-rock outfit sounded more than ever like a band in search of a machine to rage against, settling instead on a succession of ever-sillier anti-tech, anti-conformity, anti-everything screeds that it’s hard to imagine even they took very seriously.

Substance has always been secondary to style for these guys, but it’s still no fun listening to a band that doesn’t buy their own sloganeering.
