In another direction

mind.in.a.box I hear for many years and so far all my albums have really liked RETRO excluded times. Also Revelations I have not rated pretty profusely shortly after release. The enthusiasm cooled unfortunately faster than the older albums and in retrospect, the development of memories draws starting on Revelations.

Unfortunately, does not want to skip right to the spark. What disappoints me that almost always the same monotonous beats are (were once a hallmark!), Unspannender song structure and in some cases even quite strenuous Instrumentation (distorted drum sounds, electric guitars). Climactic moments of some songs then sometimes sound just messed up and loudly. Maybe so desired and with any order behind it, but I can not get to hear. The Soundtüfteleien go over to Revelations in a "noisige" direction that it already hurts sometimes. Maybe so willed?

Well-made vocoder alienations are again propagated this and also the normal singing is powerful and expressive. Unfortunately, everything seems a bit arbitrary, the melodies ignite no longer really. The album ripples almost inconsequential to himself. Overall, it seems to me to endeavor "avant-garde" is over. I'm not mainstream pop listeners, but this is really too lifted a number and eccentric examples:. Bad Dreams, Face It is not so readily available in any case. If you stand on it, great, if you expect MIAB, well ... what were the days of "The Place" & Co.! Not even the poppigste and quite unusual, but with an undertow as just whatever!

While listening to the songs I've often caught me as I press the skip button for two or three minutes. Is it due to my taste, the one probably is. has changed or that I no longer rankomme to the music there? Hard to say. Definitely place with the album takes a development and the album does not sound exactly like the predecessor. Unfortunately, the development goes in a direction that is not really my thing. mind.in.a.box nevertheless deserves a chance, so best, it gives you first get a picture before you give too much of my nagging.
