The Prodigy made Sleaford Mods sound good? Alright, now I'm excited for the new album.
Man, I sure love when YouTube Music recommendations either give me the same ~30 albums or completely different stuff. Like, I was listening to early drum and bass and had to choose between this, non-album singles and the same five albums I have already listened. And that only happens with electronic music, it can easily find me a billion nu metal bands that I've never heard of and are actually pretty good. Same with jazz. And even disco. Pretty much everything that isn't ... read more
Before: Oh, this is like American Football but Chinese. How funny to recommend this to me after listening to LP1, YouTube Music.
After: No fucking way, this is actually on par with LP1 in terms of quality. The chinese cooked hard, and so did the algorithm.
I really want to give this a higher score, but the second half of the album DRAGS. Goes from cool Spanish trip hop to weird experimental soundscapes, and, in my opinion, the experiments fail. This album shouldn't be 78 minutes.
The lead up to the drops is pretty good, but the actual drops sound pretty generic, with little melody and the same bass sounds. Overall not a bad album, but you can find better DnB records, for sure.
The fact that there are so many different answers over which track is the best says a lot about this album.
Yeah, this basically describes most 80s electronic music in a nutshell. Entertaining, but very bare bones.
Good album, but disappointing in some areas, especially if you listened to the band's other albums. The instrumentals hit hard as always. Some songs feel like they don't go anywhere, like you expect them to climax and then they wind down or end. Overall a fine package, but kind of a low point in IM's career (which, to be honest, just shows their amazing track record).
This is the type of album that you think is not that bad at the start, until you listen through the whole tracklist and become more and more apathetic as all positive emotions leave your body and all traces of potential lead to nowhere. I literally exclaimed "Oh my God, this is the last song!" when checking the tracklist after tabbing out in the browser, that's how much I loathe this album.
While this album is generally good, certain moments feel uninspiring and forgettable. The "Progressive Electronic" genre doesn't really apply here, in my opinion. Having a general album theme and using spoken word samples is not enough to be progressive. There is certaintly enjoyment to be had, but don't get your expectations up.
Very inconsistent album. Revolution is generic cyberpunk music, so is Imagine Reality. Fearless is a pretty obvious derivative of Justice, with some parts sounding like they were sampled from Cross, though I can't blame them because it sounds great. Outsider and Motion are pretty good french house songs too. Angels was used in some official European Union commercial? At least that's what the comments told me. Love is an ambient emotional instrumental that, in my opinion, doesn't ... read more
This unironically slaps, sad to see the album being dismissed because of the first song's name (which is ironic, because the song's message is actually anti-racist).
