Negative Positive
Title: Not the best
Review: Grendel's previous album, "Prescription:Medicide," sounded like an overly-distorted Embryodead-era Wumpscut (if you don't believe me, go back and listen to track 1, "Construct Constriction," and then go and listen to the title track of Embryodead. Hear it now? Good). After the noteworthy "Soilbleed" EP, they have now progressed to...bland, uninteresting harsh EBM. It's not that anything about the album is particularly bad, but rather that it doesn't really stand out with any sound of its own. The synth lines are reminiscent of a dozen bands and just about every recent club-friendly release. The vocals are also the stereotypical distorted scream/sing/speak that gets tiresome by track 2. The programming is just varied enough to guarantee that a human being was involved in the creative aspect at some point, but not interesting enough to merit any serious attention. Great filler music but otherwise wholly unremarkable.
Is the review positive or negative?
