Hollywood Undead - Swan Songs B-Sides (2009)
Uh oh, looks like it's full of one posse cut ("The Natives") that's pretty good even if it's depressing to listen to in this current year, but three other songs that seem as if they're trying really damn hard to get some of that "Black Dahlia" money from the emo teenagers who bought the single, with three songs that can be described as being "overdramatic", "extreme" and contain "a bit too much pandering" to the very fans they tried to sell "Black Dahlia" to.
There aren't really any fun times to be found here, just a good (if a bit calm) posse cut about how the band formed, and then three songs, "Pain", "Knife Called Lust", and "The Loss" which sound as if they recorded them just for this EP to try to milk a little bit more money out of their depressed fans. Might as well have just called this EP "The Depression Diaries" or some shit like that, because while none of the songs are outright horrible, it feels unnecessary and it's generally not what you'd probably want it to be, unless you're going through your first break-up ever and want lyrics to post on your Facebook to give the vague impression that you're going to kill yourself, as a form of revenge or even an attempt to get the girl back, but take it from me and what I've seen: Don't. Just burn their house down like a normal person.
6/10
