CRITIC REVIEWS

Although Another Life may be borne from the unnerving question of whether the world will be saved or destroyed by technology, the music contained within is still hard-hitting, at times danceable, and infinitely entertaining.

Another Life, chameleonic as it is demonic, aggregates its influences and kaleidoscopes them into earworming shards of electronic puncta, a diabolical mimesis whose loathsome grin belies its functionality as dance music.

What makes Amnesia Scanner’s cyborg-pop so potent is their resistance to simple narratives. An element of the group’s conceptual makeup resembles the logic of movements like vaporwave or PC Music, but there’s no plea towards nostalgia or kitsch to sell these tracks. Instead, Amnesia Scanner looks towards a stifled anger and a paralyzing sense of non-place and non-identity: Humanity appears as a fleeting, ungraspable concept.

Through injections of noise, polyrhythmic tendencies and ambient passages, Amnesia Scanner produce a disfigured facade of their roots. It is this ongoing mutation that is so enticing that makes this act so compelling.

Like staring at a laptop screen for so long the glut of information makes you feel sick, Another Life is a complete sensory overload you can't turn away from. It's the duo's most triumphant release yet.

The Berlin duo’s debut album balances club music’s repetitive cadences with all-out chaos—an end-of-the-world soundtrack shot through with fierce, defiant rage.

Another Life comes across like a rallying cry to an underground resistance against the current state of affairs in Western society, and its uniquely blaring drill-and-bass meets air-raid-rave can reach such extremes that it would immediately turn off the majority of people.

This is AS Fucking Amazing
Amnesia Scanner just did a fucking Arial Assault on my earlobes and it was FUCKING AWESOME.

I thought this would be better, but eh. Some good songs, particularly AS Another Life and AS Securitaz, but most of it feels like nightcore dubstep.
“Another Life” is an assault on the senses. But I mean that in such a good way! I mean, seriously! The production is fucking amazing! It’s abrasive while also getting away with being danceable and catchy! While it may have turned off some people at first listen, I still highly recommend this!
