Idolator
Living Things lead singer Lillian Berlin has a reputation for irking would-be fans, whether it's because of his on-stage political diatribes, or just for excessive fashion-magazine preening. Such factors may be part of the reason why Ahead Of The Lions, the band's politically minded 2005 album, didn't exactly start a revolution, but it's a better-than-you'd expect metal-punk-garage collection: The Iggy-aping "I Owe" is better than anything off that last Stooges album, and "New Year" is plenty menacing:

Is that like telling someone she's pretty by saying, "You're much better looking than Sloth from 'Goonies'" ?
I am surprised this band is championed here, I thought the music was bad, and their pretentiousness is even worse.
T-Retch.
