Not feeling the Valentine’s Day vibe? There’s not a bit of sap or saccharine in this mix of 80s anti-love songs. Instead, it takes a look at the darker side of love when things have left the hearts and roses stage (or was never there to begin with). It runs the gamut from cheating to lusting for your best friend’s girl to breaking up to plain ole sadism. Cuz, let’s face it, sometimes Love Stinks.
