This
album presents a style of industrial music that hasn't really ever been
done before. The music is fast paced and aggressive with thrashy guitars,
but it does have an uplifting feel to it. There are great uses of electronics
and drums, but the guitars especially stand out. The vocals are a bit
high pitched and sing melodically, but they do scream like Trent Reznor
at times as well. Sometimes the vocals are clean, and sometimes they
are extremely distorted. This actually works very well to give a lot
of different emotions to the singing. The music also changes paces.
Sometimes it's more relaxed, and sometimes it's very thrashy. But it's
always catchy. The songs have an alternative rock vibe to them. This
is not dark or gloomy music in the least. It almost seems comical at
times. But it is a good album, and the songs will stay with you long
after you have listened to them. My only complaint is that most of the
songs are only about three minutes long, and there are a couple of really
slow songs that I could have done without. But this album is worth checking
out just for the fact that it's something different. That is very rare
these days.
