Hardcore kids done gone soft? Ire Works
Being a big fan of the classic DEP,C.I-era sound I've been putting off sampling the band's latest opus due to it's well documented pop-leanings, but I've just had myself a wee listen and surprisingly it's the poppier, more avant-garde tracks that really stood out. I don't know, but the more abstract, abrasive numbers just don't have the punch of their Calculating Infinity counterparts. They're neither as technical, nor downright bat-shit insane.
All in all, it's a pleasant surprise, but easily, to my ears at least, their least consistent disc to date.
