Warfare is your typical European electro industrial band that doesn't
bring anything new to this genre of music. That's not to say that they
are bad, it's just that they don't really do anything different to make
them stand out. The electronic sequencing and drum programming is a
bit basic and repetitive, while the synth melodies are actually very
good and do help to improve the overall quality of the songs. The vocals
use a strange effects device that make them sound distorted with an
echo. There is accent to the singer's voice and it's kind of hard to
hear the lyrics clearly even though the singing is more of a talking
style. I would have enjoyed the vocals more without the odd echo effect
because it's quite apparent that the singer has a good voice that does
not need to rely on voice processors. Each song here basically sounds
the same without really bringing in anything diverse. The music plays
at a medium pace where it's not slow, but not quite fast enough for
the dance floor. It's comfortable to listen to, but there's something
about it that makes it better background music than music you would
pay close attention to. There's a slight amateur vibe throughout this
recording. Nothing is bad here, but nothing really stands out. There's
only one instrumental and it's simply used as an intro piece. So this
album can be enjoyed from start to finish without having to worry about
any instrumentals or filler to skip past. The bottom line is that this
album most likely won't blow you away, but it's still enjoyable for
the most part and fans of electro industrial music should be pleased
with it.
