TV on the Radios debut album is nine songs about (in no particular order) discordant living, misrepresentation, how nothing nothing can be, life, afterlife, love and love after hours. These are pop songs. These are rock songs. These are art songs.

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes began right where TVOTRs 2003 debut EP Young Liars left off, propelled into uncharted sonic territory. Undeniably catchy songs with incredible production, arrangements, champion crooning (including stunning a cappella performances) and a host of extras that makes this a seriously solid album.
