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.
