Devil's Dance
While this is very much over-processed, feeling so artificial, there are some solid songwriting things here. A lot of it just feels so fake that it lacks anything that resonates on a human level. That's a shame because there are some interesting instrumental melodic vibes. This could have been a better song with a lighter hand on the production. |
|
U Don't Get 2 (radio edit)
Although this is over-produced, as well, it's not to the level of the opener. The vocals feel more real, and there are some symphonic vibes here that are a little more organic. This is dramatic and definitely stronger than the song that came before it. |
|
Mean to Me (radio edit)
I really love the almost tuned percussion sound that gets this song going. The tune has more of a stripped back approach. It's another that skates the line between over-produced and organic. It definitely presents a different angle. It works pretty well, too. |
|
Leave It Haunted (radio edit)
This has a cool groove to it. It also has a parental advisory, so not sure how it's a radio edit. Well, that's assuming I heard the lyrics right. If I did there is an "f bomb" dropped. I dig the synthesizer sound on the tune. |
|
Glimmer
No big change, this is a good song, but nothing that really stands out. It's heavily produced modern pop music that feels electronic and soulful. |
|
Ridiculous (radio edit)
The guitar on this feels more organic. The track has more of that electronic, produced thing at play, but in a much less prominent way. This is a big change, and a good one at that. It's one of the best pieces here. |
|
Problem for Me
There is almost a house or techno angle to this cut. That manages to elevate it beyond some of the other stuff here. |
|
Say It Out Loud
This is another that gets into the over-processed zone. Yet, it works better on this tune. There is an electronic groove to it that seems to fit the artificial nature of it. |
|
Accelerate
The title track comes in feeling more organic and funky. The cut has a tasty groove. The vocals at times get heavily over-produced, but it's only momentarily. This gets some seriously rocking stuff added to the mix later. This is a highlight of the set, really. It even gets a little spacey at times. |
|
Soldiering
No big change, this has that soulful electronic vibe. It's pretty standard modern pop fare, but it does work pretty well. |
