Review title: a terrible disappointment
Product review: It's true enough that this album bears almost no relation to other releases by hooverphonic.Unfortunately, the band has shuffled into mediocrity with this release. The only tracks on the album that I can even *remember* are 'Mad About You', a nice and straightforward pop song with some jazzy influences, and 'Renassance Affair', a song from BWPM which they probably included to leverage the popularity of a recent Volkswagen commercial.To call this album anything other than bubble-gum pop would be a stretch. While the band is certainly not stagnating in their past musical space, it's a shame to see them abandon their creative signature sounds in favour of radio-ready ear candy.Anyone who loved the Battersea EP (or even the 'mad about you' EP) will be disappointed by the lack of drum-and-bass and trip-hop influences on this album.I can only hope that the band continues their trend of musical evolution and abandons this vapid style with their next release.
