This
band mixes 80's New Wave with current alternative to create some rather
generic music that is just too cheerful, happy and uplifting for my
tastes. The music is electronic, but empty and sparse. It's quite basic
and not very layered or full. The vocals are clean and smooth, but lack
passion and emotion. They just sing along to the music like a drone
without a lot of feeling. The songs do have a manufactured feel to them.
They are overly structured and never get that exciting. The pace of
the album is kind of slow. Nothing ever really gets moving. It just
plays along at a medium speed never quite pulling you in. There appear
to be some Depeche Mode influences here, but not enough to carry this
album along the path of greatness. There is a cover of the PIXIES song
"Where Is My Mind?", but it lacks the edge of the original.
Nothing here stands out or will grab your attention. It's basic cookie
cutter run of the mill synth-pop music. If you're a big fan of this
genre of music you might enjoy what this album has to offer, otherwise
you will most likely find it to be as drab and boring as I do.
