You'd be forgiven if you worried that the just-released second album by My Darkest Days, Sick and Twisted Affair , would fall victim to the dreaded sophomore jinx. After all, it's hard to top that debut album; lest we forget it boasted monster smash Porn Star Dancing and a gut-wrenching rendition of Duran Duran's eternal 90's classic Come Undone . Happily, Sick and Twisted Affair does away with any concerns straight away with the blisteringly epic title track. Boasting top notch synth work and timeless lyrics (i.e. "I'm like a dirty little drug / and you'll never get enough"), it's clear that MDD are going for the jugular. It's followed by Save Yourself , an absolute blast that brings the fires of hell to the dance floor. Its chorus soars on bat wings over a synthbed of molten lava. I could extol the virtues of Sick and Twisted Affair until my fingers bleed all over my keyboard; honestly there's so much awesomeness and grandeur...
SOMEHOW STILL A THING
