DE-VISION - 6 FEET UNDERGROUND





































De-Vision "6 Feet Underground" Album Review
Not as great as I thought...
I expected more from them this time around but it seemed that they mellowed a bit too much on this album. It's more on the slower/softer side of De/Vision.
The title track was boring as dripping molasses. The rest of the songs faired a bit better. Nothing grabs you from the onset. Get to listen to it a few more times to appreciate some of the tracks here.
Good De/Vision album overall though.
Definitely not for casual listeners.

ASSEMBLAGE 23 - LET THE WIND ERASE ME
















Assemblage 23 "Let the Wind Erase Me" Album Review
Good but I'm Nervous About the Album Now
This is a really good song but not nearly as strong as the lead singles from 'Failure' ("Disappoint") or the last album ("Document"). Outside of the mesmerizing chorus nothing grips me here. The music is solid but it's more of a backdrop to the lyrics than a force on its own. In that respect, it reminds a bit of "Drive". It's a great song but not quite a powerhouse - Perfect as the #2 or #3 song off an album as "Drive" was. I should be getting the album in the mail in a couple of days and am anxious to hear it.
The main issue I have with this is that it doesn't come out and scream "This is Assemblage 23!" The better songs from 'Failure' did that; You knew who it was and it defined a new twist in Elektro / Futurepop. Since then Tom has continued to put out good music but the sound is moderating to the scene. It doesn't help that bands like Seabound and Imperative Reaction, good bands no doubt, sound very similar to the new A23. Now on this song I actually don't know if anyone could really tell the difference if you didn't already know who it was. For instance, you take a friend to a club, this comes on and they've never heard it. Let's assume that they are knowedgeable in the scene. Tell them, "Oh, it's the new Imperative Reaction single." They won't question you. They may say, "It's sounds a bit like A23." Then again, that's exactly what they said when they heard Imperative Reaction's last album. Maybe this is not a clear knock on A23 then, but the point is that these bands' sounds are converging a bit too much at the moment and A23 isn't doing enough to differentiate themselves. Hopefully the album will prove me wrong.

THE PRODIGY - ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED NEVER OUTGUNNED





































The Prodigy "Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned" Album Review
Not 100% but still ok
After the successful Fat Of The Land, this new album just doesn't really have anywhere near the interest. Fat Of The Land had trippy songs that pushed music to its highest boundaries. Always Outnumbered... on the other hand still has a handful of well developed songs. The best song without a doubt is 'You'll Be Under My Wheels' which reminds me alot of 'One Man Army' off the Spawn Soundtrack. This song is energetic and true to the Prodigy sound and vocals. Also check out the Smokin' Aces Soundtrack for a new Prodigy song called 'First Warning', it is an excellent track and I hope their next album is all in that style.
Another song on Always Outnumbered that is worth mentioning is 'Medusa's Path', now this song is very much like the song 'Narayan' from Fat Of The Land, with its ambient atmosphere that just takes you on a journey into another world. It's impossible to stop this track before it finishes, it's like a nice dream.
Hopefully the next Prodigy album won't have songs like 'Get Up Get Off', that song is not The Prodigy! It sounds like The Black Eyed Peas, and they p!ss me off. 'Pheonix' is a good song though, but there's this one sample in it that p!sses me off a bit (it's a chic saying lalala in a whispering tone). 'Spitfire' is a good song aswell but a bit too long (3 minutes would have been enough. 5 mins is just a bit too much). But one thing's for sure this album is not an epic one like The Fat Of The Land.
I would change the order of the songs aswell as remove some. It would look like this:
1.Spitfire
2.Pheonix
3.Action Radar
4.You'll Be Under My Wheels
5.Wake Up Call
6.Girls
7.Memphis Bells
8.Medusa's Path
9.The Way It Is
10.Shoot Down
Now with Hotride and Get Up Get Off out of the way and the songs in a more listenable order I think this album is almost an epic.
Seriously though, try listening to the songs in this order.
