Inscrutable

I'm trying (and mostly failing so far) to work out why I like New Order for the review of their reissues I'm writing.

What are the bands you love but find hard to write about? (Or, if yr not a writer, love without being able to articulate why?).

The Pet Shop Boys are a difficult one to explain, especially since one of the things I find about them is that they're a very emotional band, and non-likers generally dismiss them as being emotionless. It's the restraint that makes something like 'Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore' so powerful - the sense of what Tennant isn't saying, what he's keeping in. Unfortunately, armchair music critics seem to prefer vocalists wearing their emo on their sleeves, at least up north.
