"They Live! feels sort of like a sequel to You Can Be Special Too in a lot of ways, and as much as I loved YCBST I find this album so much better. I stumbled on the All the Cash video a couple of weeks ago and was immediately sold, it ended up being one of my least favorite tracks on the disc and not because it's bad or anything, but there are some really fantastic songs here that outshine it. The opening cut "Feed on You" rumbles in with a heavy bass sound and eighties sounding synths pulsing around it creating a very 80's horror movie sound in a cool way. I don't know much if anything about electronic music and how it's made, but it sounds like these dudes broke out some vintage equipment and added some modern twists to them for They Live!. The Wait Feat David Autokratz follows and it's my personal favorite on the album, very catchy song with awesome vocals. El-P shows up next on All the Cash with a hell of a performance. From there up until about the 8th or 9th song it's hit and miss for me (more hit than miss though). The other highlite of this CD is the song titled "Luke Goss" and it's a beast of a song, very cool and worth checking this album out for alone. I'm not very big on electronic/dance music but I'm still loving this disc and highly recommend it."
