1ere review complète en Anglais (désolé j'ai pas le temps de traduire)
Source>HOME
I have had the wonderful privilege of getting to hear the entire SOTU album, i really had to dig my nose around, and a member of the media let me hear it (didnt get a copy, but thank you!!!!!) so here's my personal review:
1. In chains
Great melody, martin's vocals are pretty moody, dave's energetic, it's kinda slow but pretty epic sounding, so it's a good opener, reminds me a little of "Sweetest Perfection"
2. Hole To Feed
Sounds alot like a dave solo project, lots of dave vocals, very little martin from what i could hear
3. Wrong
I love it!!
4. Fragile Tension
YES PEOPLE it sounds alot better on the album, much more mixed, very atmospheric, reminds me of Lillian, very snappy
5. Little Soul
This is a great sounding ballad-y song, i think this may be what ppl meant when they said there was a "cabaret" track
6. In Sympathy
I don't know what to say about this, sorta upbeat, but sorta not, cant really describe it without posting lyrics
7. Peace
This sounds straight off of A Broken Frame or Speak and Spell, synthpop at it's best, and very uplifting and reflective:) great martin/dave duet!
8. Come Back
Another Dave solo-track-ish song, but very pretty, lyrics are very calming
9. Spacewalker
Cool instrumental (the only one) and sorta reminds me personally of a newly-translated Uselink, or the end of I want it all
10. Perfect
uh....whoa. all i can say is, it's perfect!! Upbeat and really really cool
11. Miles Away
This one reminds me of Freestate, kinda of a synthpop howdown, with a hint of country, great vocals!!
12. Jezebel
The perfect "you naughty girl, you took my heart" song, synthpopish, and sorta ballady
13. Corrupt
This one starts out kinda dark and moody, then it's a foot stomping electronic grand finale, with dave really roaring out some of his best vocals
