The
name of this band, and the artwork for this CD, remind me of VNV
Nation. And, not surprisingly, the music offered here is very
similar to VNV Nation as well. But since VNV
Nation is a good band, sounding similar to them is not a bad
thing in my opinion. Also, I actually enjoy this music more than VNV
Nation.
Pride And Fall create EBM/synth-pop hybrid music, also
known as future pop. The electronic programming and beats are energetic
and driving, the melodies are dark and dramatic, and the vocals are
clear and untreated with good range and emotion. Most of the songs are
fast paced and could be club tracks. There are more melodic moments
included as well for variety. And the few instrumentals are nice, too.
Every song is good and stand out on their own. This is a consistent
recording from beginning to end. Track seven "Delusion" is
the only song that sounds out of place here. It's an aggressive electro-industrial
song with distorted vocals. It's really good which is disappointing
that it only plays for about a minute and a half.
My favorite songs on the CD are "Paragon", "Omniscient", "December",
"Delusion" and "Extinction Is Forever". I highly recommend
this CD to people who enjoy EBM, synth-pop and future pop music similar
to VNV
Nation.
