Normally I'm really into this band, but this track is a little synth-heavy for me.

Don't get the hype surrounding this band, though, even if they are the home team.
I can't get into this band either.  |

I'll give a '1' for this hideous song, and a 10 in my mind for the band's Obama endorsement.

You may find the vocals inarticulate because a good portion of them are in French. Google around, and you'll get some pretty good translations.
What I find makes this song so powerful is the sadness of the lyrics, combined with the simple, upbeat quality of the melody. Yes, it's a repetitive hook, but it is also a fantastic conterpoint to the lyrics which talk of civil war and murder. |
