The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers

Pretty enjoyable.

A fun album.

At first I was put off by the 'Synth Rock' label but actually ended up enjoying this (there's definitely a good amount of Alternative Metal).

I didn't expect this to be any good, but damn. It's like a mix of The Cult, some synthwave and maybe a little bit of nu metal or something so one could actually argue they belong here. But I'm not still sure if these guys are actually any metal other than few minot parts of some songs, they're still pretty cool. They clearly have found their very own niche thing and that's awesome.

This band is great. It's one album better than the other

What a wonderful album, far better than I could of imagined, it has stunning melodies, and I'm really digging it's dark and creepy gothic vibe, and despite it being soft and pop sounding, I really like it.
I'm never going to look at synth rock in the same way again, this album is a real beauty.

Just wanted to say that thanks to your comment here, I decided to try this album out on a whim even though it's kinda out of my wheelhouse. It's a great album! The melodies and vocals are infectious while still retaining a sense of Gothic darkness.
