Title: Derivative and off-key "darkwave"
Product review: Let's put the inevitable, obvious (and tedious) comparisons to Depeche Mode aside for a moment. Xero/G's Are You Weightless is, pun intended, weightless. The arrangements (all synths) are standard without anything original or interesting standing out. It's utterly derivative. You've heard it all before and most of us with a mid-priced synth could come up with equally mundane stuff. But that's not what kills it for me (I usually enjoy such stuff for, at least, background to everyday life)- the vocals (female) are amateurish. As much as I hate to be harsh and insulting, this singer should keep it in the shower and/or car. She has no range, no style, and, worst of all, no ear. If you have any sense of pitch (which the singer and producer apparently have not), this music may even make you cringe a bit. In a word, and to my disappointment, this artist is BLAH.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
