Another band from Finland!!! This band plays a very
deep music that takes inspirations from different styles and on
the whole it sounds very original!
This is the second full length for this band and
in my opinion this album is very suitable for all those who like
alternative rock mixed with melancholic atmosphere, in particular I
have to underline the charme of the vocalist Ana !She gets a
very good and sensual voice and moreover she's a very beautiful
girl!!!! Her
voice is able to enter into the listener's soul ..and I can't
but admit that she gets one of the most female sensual voices
in the world!!!!!!
Concerning the songs, I have to admit that all the
songs keep an high quality even if their best ones are those in
which Ana sings with whispered voice...So try to listen "Hardcore",
"If you stop breathing", "Chocolate"
and my favourite "I used to hide" whose
deepness is something unique!
It's very difficult to compare the sound of this band
with a particular other one!...I could search for their inspirations
into the latest Theatre of Tragedy's album but in my opinion
the main important influence comes from rock bands as NO DOUBT
and GARBAGE......
The second single "Machine Girl"
gets a melancholic flavour ...a very sad song into an alternative
rock arrangement! Ana gives me the creeps!!! I notice the proper care
for the arrangements; Guitars get the right sound in every parts
,and the rhythmic session is perfect!!! The refrain of this song could
be perfect for a The Gathering 'song!
Another heart-attack song is "TV"
that represents the perfect mixture between the finland gothic and
the typical alternative rock melody! There's still nothing to say the
perfect arrangements!
"Ding-Dong" represent the worst of
them...This song makes them similar too much similar to No
Doubt...Avoidable song!
"Jump at me" reminds me of the GARBAGE...Very
good arrangement and very good melody!; The first single "Beat
the boys" could be defined a particular kind of new punk in
which there are many electronics parts and distorted guitars.
The title-track is another good song rich of
melancholy and sadness! The production is very good!
Because of the arrangements this band could be more
appreciated from NO DOUBT and GARBAGE fans but the sadness and the
melancholy that involves this album makes it suitable not only for
them...
Rating: 8/10
