Review

Spin (p.100) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts fixation on the present pays off with repeated plays as clashing guitar and keyboard hooks hammer home the Faint's central theme -- the chaos of a world in conflict."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Artful yet catchy opener 'Get Seduced' takes an acerbic swipe at celebrity culture with madcap electronics where you'd least expect them....The sound of a band who've finally found the space to nail their own sound."
URB (Magazine) (p.87) - "FASCIINATIION's electro bodyslam of traditional composition is easy to swallow, because The Faint have always represented the dark and dangerous version of Omaha talent."

Title Note

Omaha-based new wave revivalists, the Faint have been kicking around their brand of synth-driven pop punk since the early-`00s when they revamped their musical strategy from their lo-fi indie pop beginnings to a decidedly retro-futurist agenda. Continuing a run of dance-oriented material left off of 2004's WET FROM BIRTH, the Faint have regrouped and started a label (blank.wav), releasing FASCIINATIION, a futurological paean to the glories and pitfalls of technology. Retrofitting their already sleek dance pop with the kind of DSP-driven production flourishes favored by IDM artists, the Faint have pushed their robotic dance pop into ever more dystopian territory. Propelled by a solid rhythm section consisting of bassist Joel Petersen's overdriven sludge and drummer Clark Baechle's muscular electro beats, the album's wired-for-sound pulse never detracts from singer Todd Baechle's wry musings on pop culture and the state of society. On the album's opener, "Get Seduced," Baechle takes to task the media's unhealthy obsession with celebrity trainwrecks, while "The Geeks Were Right" offers a cautionary tale against blind allegiance to the conveniences offered by technology.
