Absolutely worth listening debut

Whoever comes to visit the venture, has to act as a support act on a Depeche Mode concert - at least in Germany - adopted a conceivable thankless job. Instead to shorten the already indispensable waiting for the main act of the evening with music borniert large parts of the audience in attendance, because, is coiled with tickets, booed, whistled or yelled loudly chanting by Depeche Mode. The fact that the Americans of The Bravery, as experienced by me in 2006 to the Dresden concert, could not be impressed by this repellent scenery and defiantly down played her boots, was then rewarded by me with the purchase of their debut album. Finally, I found the music not so bad, what seemed to check on someday similarly also a part of those present the applause backdrop.

What New Yorkers fabricate on their debut there is a rather interesting mix of wüstem Gitarrengeklingel and electronic sounds. Live came across very powerfully, in the recorded music that sounds partially significantly driven. The opening track "Honest Mistake", after all, a Top Ten hit on the island, are already there before a proper strokes. In any case, is who likes music of early-Eighties, can very well do something with the sound of the band. Also "Fearless" by surprise, supported by Sam Endicott's plaintive organ neatly out of the speakers. What I like: Change Time and again the dominant sounds of nearly pure electronic ("Tyrant", "Out Of Line") towards the almost punky Saitengeknüppel ("Swollen Summer", "Unconditional") or a smooth mix of both (" Hot Pursuit "). The invents in his Retrolastigkeit Although the music is not new and has also to contend with a few fillers, really bad but this is not at all.

Indisputable, however the run length of the album. Here one has but then also oriented with just over half an hour arg close to the eighties, for the year 2005 but which is absolutely unsatisfactory for a full price sheet.
