Machine 15: i like the song o.k. the lyrics explain the album and the whole shift in sound.. this song would be better in my opinion if they didnt use such a "clean" guitar sound, maybe something with a little more punch like the HFH album distortion.Done Is Done: one of my favorite songs on the album, violins sound cool and add sort of an arabian feel to it. not quite sure how they are going to pull this off live though, if they even play it live...
Detox: when i first heard it i thought it sounded like millencolin was trying a little too hard to get on mtv and be the next big thing. after listening to it more i actually like it, kinda funny song, maybe a guilty pleasure.
Vicious Circle: nikola should have saved it for his solo album, doesnt really fit, gets really long and boring.
Broken World: cool little pop song, i like the riff. once again, guitars are too clean and take away from the power the song could have had.
Come On: im kind of embarassed for the guys, this is a complete rip off of that motion city soundtrack song. same chord progression and vocal patterns. im sure they didnt mean to, its just strange nikola says "creativity is my gasoline" in the song machine 15 and then this is basically a cover song with different lyrics.
Centerpiece: ace freehly, not as random
Brand New Game: cool lyrics, cool song, solid.
Who's Laughing Now: the only real classic millencolin sounding song on the whole cd, i like it, but again the guitars are too clean and dont carry as much bite i guess.
Ducks and Drakes: I actually like the verses and everything, but the chorus sounds wierd when larzon isnt using the snare at all. songs ok, not as bad as everyone keeps saying.
Turnkey Paradise: I like this song, poppy but still a good song with a catchy chorus, seems like something you might hear off of pennybridge, but with a clean channel guitar. the riff is strange and is the only part i dont like.
Route One: the first time i heard it the vocals bothered me, but the more i have heard it the more i like it. again, the chorus is catchy.
Danger For Stranger: Like turnkey paradise, i like the song, sounds like something on the ladder half of pennybridge, poppy, fun, but something i cant see them playing live.
Saved By Hell: this is my favorite some on the album. it sounds like it should have been on nikola's solo album (which i like also) but for some reason its dark and really really good. cant really see them playing it live to much approval, but really good no doubt.
End Piece: fucking noise
...overall, i like the album, by far the slowest and poppiest, but thats fine. i like a lot of songs, but my trouble is that i cant find one song i would put in my top 10 MC songs of all time (which up to now contain at least one song from each album). It sounds like nikola sarcevic meets franky lee, which i guess makes sense, but i was hopping they would be able to destinguish the two... like others said, i like the album a lot, but i feel like i have heard it many times before, something i cant say about other MC records, even though this one is the "furthest" from anything they have done. maybe the songs will sound more full when they play them live with more punch behind the bare guitar sound.
by far the best review of the album
this is exactly what i thought about the album, god damn, you read my mind, seriously.
