FOR
The Aggression - "Flood"
I will be reviewing "Flood" by The Aggression. This was given
to me as a free promo CD by a distributor for Tinman Records. This is the first
I have heard of this band although they are featured on a comp that was also
given to me at the same time entitled "Tinman 21".
At first listen it seems to be that there is some internal conflict within the
band. Some of the band seem to want to be heavier and the other part wants to be
electronic. Programming is not bad but vocals are varied. There is an overly
harshness to some of the vocals where others seem to be rather mellow. This also
seems to be the case for the music itself. There are several track that have a
harder edge to them that include guitars. Others are more, if not exclusively
electronic in nature.
Overall my rating is poor. There is great potential and there are certainly
going to be those who will enjoy this, unfortunately I am not one. The problem
is that it is hard to define who will like this and who would not. It seems to
try to please everyone. I personally think the programming is very uneventful.
If you like the heavier side of electronic music there might be some reprise for
you in this.
I would not have purchased this.
