This
band is different. They are an energetic and hyper alternative rock
band that mixes fast paced techno rhythms and beats into their music.
The singing is a bit high pitched and clean without any distortion.
The guitars and drums are live and up front. The electronics and synths
are more in the background, but can still be heard. This band is not
dark at all. They have an almost comical feel to them. They are very
upbeat and want to make you get up and move. There is a lot of variety
on this album. There are songs that play at a frantic and somewhat aggressive
pace for the club scene. There are also some slightly toned down songs
where synths are the primary instrument. There are even a couple of
funky hip-hop style songs that definitely have a comical side to them.
Each of the songs found here are rather short only reaching about three
minutes. This makes the album go by fairly fast. Also, I only like seven
of the eleven songs. They are "3 Big Bags", "Running Red", "Green Mind",
"Water", "Angels", "The Heroin Song", and "Dirt". The other four songs
found here I could care less about. They almost seem like filler. They
just don't really belong here. This is a decent album for the most part.
But it just doesn't deliver enough quality songs. I hope this band goes
for a more serious and aggressive sound with their next album, and leaves
the weird funky hip-hop crap behind.
