Title: Kick Up the Fire slowly douses
Product review: Those expecting the familar guitar-barrages of their debut might be in for a letdown. 'Kick Up the Fire & Let the Flames Break Loose' seems to be a watered-down version of 'See This Through And Leave'. There's more of the Pink Floydian electronic-tweaks and less of the tornado-like guitar-attacks, steering away from the elements which made their debut appealling. I compare the drop-off, erm transition, to the Beta Band's debut/EP to 'Hot Shots 2' opting for a softer, minimalistic, electronic-based sound. The backing rhythm continues pump-out clockwork beats, interesting experimental twists, along with an overall cinematic vibe. But after 'See This Through And Leave' one expects more guitar flashes than silent gaps, which makes me appreciate their debut even more.
