Save Your Soul - EP

This is to "JEREMY STUTZEL"'s review on She Wants Revenge from June of 2008. First of all, you clearly need to listen to more Bauhaus and more Joy Division, as I have been listening to both bands since the early '90s, and it's SO CLEAR and SO OBVIOUS that when you listen to the opening of the song, "Tear You Apart", by She Wants Revenge, it sounds almost exactly like the long opening of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus, and it sounds like it was definitely done intentionally! If you haven't noticed, then you need to listen and compare both songs' openings side by side, and it's SO obvious and clear how very much it sounds like "Bela Lugosi's Dead" when you hear She Wants Revenge doing that clanky echoey guitar sound and that deep vibrating bass that Bauhaus had originally adopted. I noticed this immediately when I first heard She Wants Revenge's "Tear You Apart" in 2005 at a night club, so clearly, She Wants Revenge has far more than just an aspect of resemblance to the guitar and bass sound of "that" genre from the early '80s. She Wants Revenge has rather a major aspect that adopts specifically from the sound of Bauhaus and Joy Division, as well as adopting a sound specifically from the Cure's "Seventeen Seconds" album (Listen to "Us" by She Wants Revenge, then listen to "At Night" by the Cure - Listen to "Someone Must Get Hurt" by She Wants Revenge, then listen to later Cure). Second, about you claiming that NOBODY is running around saying that Trent Reznor ripped off Al Jourgensen of Ministry...you are SO WRONG! You may not remember, because you may be relatively a bit young, but people actually DID used to say that Trent Reznor was ripping Al Jourgensen of Ministry quite often, and also Ogre from Skinny Puppy, back in the late 80s and early 90, when NIN was first coming out, and I used to defend NIN regarding those claims, because however NIN had resemblance to Ministry, they were actually better, and they also had a very original sound of their own. I remember this NIN/Ministry comparison very well. They're just not saying that anymore today, and you, Jeremy, seem to be caught up with only the contemporary. Now I wouldn't say She Wants Revenge is better musically than Bauhaus, and they are definitely not ripping them off, but nevertheless, they sure are, by far, an amazing band musically, who do have their own great style and sound, especially with that first album, however much they may sound like Bauhaus and Joy Division, because it is very clear and obvious that they do sound quite a bit like Bauhaus and Joy Division, so just accept it.

as you know pyshadelic furs are one of the most famous 80s bands in America. Well I am 11 and my mom and dad took me to see their concert. we walked in and saw a couple of people. We were thinking they were just a couple of normal idahoans. When we walked in we discovered they were the new hit band She Wants Revenge. They are awesome!!! If you don't even know them and their songs come on you will dance to the beat and you will know the lyrics in 2 seconds!! after the concert i went and downloaded all of their songs!! I hope you will too!!!

Favorite one you should listen to in thiz album is save your soul

I have been they're fan for a year.the songs aren't just great songs to listen to but when i read the lyrics they are well put together. definitely not like the current hip-hop songs out there they're getting pretty desperate come on...hotel holiday inn. we need better lyrics like this band

A Hundred Kisses is in my opinion possibly the best love song of all time. God I love it. It makes me tear up haha and songs don't do that to me often. Great stuff

This rocks. Hard. Especially the title track and "Sleep". The basic formula is still there, but a more natural, less electronic touch is being infused into it. Makes me really look foward to their next album.

SWR is great you kiddin me how can you bash this band if you've ever actually loved someone I mean really if your heart less and never had that "other" in your life then by all means hate them but if you have... show some love

Just like their other two cd's this one is abzolutely amazing. The deep lyrics and outstanding chords make this yet another reason to love them. Buy it!

To those, including Barry Walters who thought SWR is/was co-opting or ripping off Bauhaus or Joy Division, that's absurd. The only aspect to SWR that clearly resembles the classic genre and period is SWR's treatment of their bass and guitar sounds within the overall mix of things...I applaud it!!! Whether intentional or not it's good...real good. Nobody's running around saying Trent Reznor ripped of Al Jourgensen's (Ministry's Twitch album) genre, right? You can bet with certainty that in the States; however, Al laid the dirt road for the likes of NIN and Manson to be accessible today. If SWR can influence someone to go back and listen to the roots of this genre, all the better but by no means is SWR taking the short route. This genre was not easily accessible back then...it was "UNDERGROUND" but today SWR has gone further than that...they've reinvented it with new energy. And thus...they're obviously doing something right. The point is, it's refreshing that SWR can poke a small hole through a swath of three and a half minute, booty bangin, Hip-Hop advertisements, Disney and Nickelback (puke) wanna be's, right? You have your twinky music on one side and SWR on the other. I prefer the other.

With the exception of a song or two I thought their second album was merely SWR attempting to remake their first self titled album (which I enjoyed and was much better.) This EP has a different feel and sound to it. It's way better than their last album and steadily growing on me...
