The Pierces hinted at this vengeful, messed up ex-girlfriend, post-split up blues sound on their album 13 Tales of Love and Revenge. The Like took that idea and perfected it, like the Shangri La's when they removed those rose tinted glasses and faced reality, the bitterness of being cheated on is a strong feeling and its presence is clear from the very beginning. "If i could smack some senses in to his senses/ then i might feel alright/ Cos i spent the weekend feeling all alone/ for that rat to come back home/ when all the while he was with somebody new/ now that i know, his hours are few/ Cause i just can't forgive and forget/ So when i'm through with him he will be wishing he was dead/ I know what he's been up to/ and i know that he's been untrue/ when i'm through with him he will be wishing he was dead"
The anger subsides at times but generally this is a fantastic anger fuelled heartbroken tale of unfulfilled love and the all the confusion that Best Coast translated so well, all in the guise of the Shangri La's discovering distortion and quirky keys. A quite brilliant tale of love and revenge.
