Destroy Everything You Touch:Ladytron

Artist: Ladytron

Album: Witching Hour

Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: Matt's 2005 Best Of -- Streets Named For New England Trees

Song Notes: Some folks didn't like the new Ladytron album because it doesn't really sound like the first two (though the first two didn't sound a whole LOT like each other), but I pretty much instantly fell in love with the new sound. A lot darker and grittier, and it really works. I think this is going to be the second single from Witching Hour (the first/teaser single was "Sugar"), and I think it's one of the strongest songs on this excellent album. The only question -- why the 10 minute long track of silence at the end, huh? It's like padding for a bonus track… only without the bonus track. Oh well, I'm just bitter because Rykodisc didn’t include the bonus DVD that the UK Island Records pressing had with all their music videos and a documentary and some other stuff. (Speakin' of which, I'm miffed at Interscope for a similar infraction…) -Rev. Syung Myung Me
