Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils[/caption]I hate to say it, but when I was a kid, some of my favorite types of music was 'sound tracks' and not just soundtracks... But more easy listening music... And well don't hate me... But I still do like them... Fortunately that is not all I like though!
You see, when I was in High School I had this buddy of mine that had gotten really in to heavy metal music and the like, and he got me interested in this type of music (I ended up taking it one step further... Where as he went real heavy in to the rock 'n roll look, I went from grundge to goth.) But you know what, I found that I really liked this type of music and still do(The clothing on the other hand in retrospect admittedly was a little weird...)
As a matter of fact, there is a particular song, that my friend had gotten me in to, a song that Nine Inch Nails had done when I was still in High School, a song which back then helped me to get interested in being a goth... that song being, Nine Inch Nails, 'The Perfect Drug' (1997)!

A scene from the music video for Nine Inch Nails, 'The Perfect Drug' featuring: 'Trent Reznor'![/caption]Released on May 13th, 1997 for the record label, 'Nothing/Interscope', this song, besides having a fun beat, and some interesting lyrics to it, also really had some great surrealistic, gothic themes to it... (I am not talking about the more modern gothic themes of the 1990s, I am talking about the more baroque, victorian gothic themes that you would find in Edgar Allen Poe literature...)
And you know, being more interested in reading back then, then watching movies or TV shows, I found this concept to be very fascinating... You see, most of the music videos that I have seen that have to do with history, generally seem to either really praise the lighter side of history, or make fun of the darker side of history, and I found the tasteful way in which they used what I can best describe as borderline, Surrealistic, Hollywood style, 'Ravenesque' (I am making up this word to describe a scene very similar to what I always imagined was on par with Edgar Allen Poes, 'The Raven'...)
In the end, this song is truly an awesome fun time, and well worth a listen, and although I know it is pretty old at this point, check it out, I think that you guys might really like it!
