long we had to wait for a new MIAB album, even if the time with side projects like THYX and LOOMEC was good bridges .. For me, "Memories" a typical MIAB album, although I personally do not necessarily like the way increased use of electric guitars (as synth-fan). Surprisingly, I like it, after I repeatedly listened to the album, the song best, I really liked least the first trial hearing before purchase: "Bad Dreams" This is somehow really well .. what a Base-Line .. reminds me at times somehow "25 Years" of The Catch (I know, is a bit far-fetched ;-) .. Otherwise, I liked in Mind In A Box always the interplay between feminine and masculine vocoder voices. As beispiesweise "Lament For Lost Dreams" or "Change" the previous albums. In "Memories" meet the following 3 songs in this diagram:
"I Knew" "Unforgiving World" "Synchronize"
"I Knew" sounds right at the beginning like "Lament For Lost Dreams".
So for me a worthy MIAB album. Critics, of course, I can understand. But you should keep in mind that at some point the wheel can no longer reinvent / must. With the previous albums MIAB have reached the zenith, this will be topped of course more difficult or almost impossible.
