If
you're looking for a unique industrial band that includes a lot of variety
in their music, you don't need to look any further. I have never heard
any other band that sounds quite like Shock Therapy. They mix electro
rock and synth pop elements into one musical style. The singing is clean
without distortion, the guitars are live, the electronics and drum programming
are very apparent, and melodic synths complete the package. This is
energy packed electro rock music for the most part. But no two songs
sound alike. They each include something of their own that makes them
stand apart. Some songs are hard driving, aggressive, angry, and thrashy.
Some are more melodic, catchy, and meant for the dance floor. There
are even a couple of pop rock songs here. Nothing here is really evil
or dark. It has more of an upbeat vibe all throughout it. But everything
rocks and gets you moving. The music here is very catchy and just enjoyable
to listen to. I like almost every song here. The diversity, creativity,
emotion, and passion included in each song give this album a quality
and style not found very often these days. There are a couple of pop
songs here that I could have done without. But with fifteen original
full length songs that include no instrumentals or filler crap, you
are delivered an album packed with a lot of good songs.
