"Love Love Love? is addictive and proves Glass Candy?s potential. The album reminds me of the Siouxsie and the Banshees ?Scream? album. Abstract unknown meanings almost stream of conscious lyrics along with steady driving beat melodic atmospheres. I think I heard some Joy Division in the drums at one point. They have a great sense of style but you can?t mitigate this band to being just fashionable, they have a very real presence. Everybody always says Ida No is so good looking, but I?m sure she would say so ... what, the band is definitely more than looks. The music sends you out in space, it?s a driving trance. The open guitar plucking in the first song is so simple its genius, open space and ambiguous areas, very raw. you can see the influences, but Its very honest to me, not a copy. Glass Candy is has everything I love about surrealist films: sex, dream like imagery, violence, and subconscious delusions, . ?Death Disco? is an appropriate name and it?s a bright splinter in the music shake-up these days."
