Free Music Notes for Strain
Free Music Review: Excellent production - with fatal flaws
Hit: 3 Stars
This is one of those albums which make me squirm with "if only...!". The good first: the mixing and the production of this album are top notch. Very catchy beats, great soundscapes, both vocalists do their jobs very well. They have all the ingredients for a top-of-the-line industrial / futurepop release.
But then there's the fly in the ointment: the melody. Many tracks in the album start out well, but are then interluded with corny synth string & piano melodies. They stick out and give the tracks an incoherent nature. The film soundtrack-esque big tribal drums and choir chants are also a bit out of the whole, feels like the artists tried to mix together a bit too many ingredients.
But overall, I like this album. Or rather, I like the potential this album represents band for the band's next release. Just, please, leave the strings and pianos out. And either come up with catchier melodies (for good examples look into Razed in Black, or why not even VNV Nation), or just forget about them and concentrate on the industrial beats and vocals which you do so well.
My favorite track is "Reflect the Enemy". It has great beats, great sounds - and it's more coherent, stylistically pure than the rest.
