Coupling this with the uneasy balance of the music you get an exaggerated, deliberate insincerity, and it works. This probably has something to do with the spitting sneer of the vocals - they just drip contempt and disregard. They take distorted guitars and polish them up on the production, a technique which is so often the kiss of death for a song that should have been great - and yet somehow Electric Six have made it sound good. Every song on the cd walks a tightrope between rock and pop, rough and polished, heavy and slick. Theoretically, the latest Electric Six single ought to qualify as that most vile of things, the over-polished to the point of lifelessness rock song.
