An excellent use of keyboards, In Silico swing every which way they can on “Pendulum.” “Propane Nightmares” must be about when Hank Hill goes on vacation, and Buck Strickland goes and fucks up the store, but there’s no way to tell because the music is mixed too high for the lyrics to be understandable. It’s OK. This music is designed to be played between bands at clubs. It’s really great stuff, promise. The nice thing is that you’ll know right away whether you like it.
These songs are all really long. “Midnight Runner” exemplifies the distinct mid-90s feel of the entire album. Remember when industrial was popular? That. However, it uses drum machines in a more… maybe not jungle… but definitely not in the clove smoking way that Assemblage 23 would inspire. The random keyboard in this track has a distinctly Bemani feel and makes me want to take the glow sticks out of the time capsule.
“Different” offers more of the same, but that’s fine. The music strokes very well. The lyrics are more audible on this track, and it paints a fun story. All in all, more electronic goodness. My girlfriend says there is a complete lack of rage, almost as if Dave Grohl were singing. I like that.
