Static Revenger – Love Song Surprise
From the outset this was an intriguing album and right up my street; the vocals have been played about with on Track One, which gives them a soft otherworldly feel. Track Two had me hooked from the opening bars, it’s a fantastic sound, the vocals are very different on this track yet they are of the same quality. The wide range of sounds, (and I can hear just about every instrument I can think of in there,) really does work, this is a simply stunning track and I love the way it climbs steadily to the finish it’s fantastic. Track Five is an electronic sensation, you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it, I loved it. I found Track Seven to be weak for its blandness, though it isn’t dire by any stretch of the imagination, but Track Ten was a major disappointment.
Overall this album is excellent, though I’d have preferred to hear some more imaginative lyrics, which would tie in better with the excellent and unique sound. Track ten is abysmal; I’d have preferred not to have it on the album at all.
