Negative Positive
Title: blah...
Review: I am a hug fan of the Ambient and Dark Wave genres. This disc was given to me as a present. Luckily, as they say, it is the thought that counts; this disc is awful. Much criticism is heaped on Ambient/Dark Wave artists and it is from recordings such as Mercy where most of the blame should "fall." The occasional use of unique samples does not cover the tired themes, mundane lyrics and bland choir-girl vocals. Just awful. I do agree with some of the previous reviews in regards to being able to readily identify the musical "influences" on this disc. Sadly, there is NOTHING new here. The entire presentation lacks originality; from the crudely designed cartoon-like cover, to the overuse of antiquated lyrical and melodic schemes. If you are a fan of this type of music, I highly suggest you check out Lycia, Soul Whirling Somewhere or some older Cleopatra label recordings.
Is the review positive or negative?
