After 4 years since they released Bipolar, I have hopes that it's either they'll do better than Bipolar in a different way or I'll be disappointed if they do worse than Bipolar.
After listening to 10 tracks of great light technical pleasure.. I am satisfied with this album. Better than Bipolar but of course, still the best yun una. Although I can say for an OPM rock fan, better collect all three. hehe
What I can say for whole theme of the album eh sobrang techinally great kasi you can hear how bass working good, lead is always effective, drums are great, shifting from rock to pop effortlessly.. Siyempre fantastic piano and vocals, in a lighter way.
Lighter because sa Bipolar, maraming tracks ang deep and long which in the end, dalawang tracks lang ang gusto ko out of the 5 that I chose from that album. Dragging kasi yun ibang tracks. Unlike here, lighter becasuse they really went into more synthesizers, pop yet may sense and vocals really fit in those tracks. Out of ten, I can keep and want to hear 5 songs from it.. Yun sinabi nilang going back to 80's and has inspiration from new wave, eh rinig na rinig mo. Lalo na yun New Order, using electronic drums and synths a lot, iba lang eh female vocals.
For example and the track stood out in this album, is Turn it well. Akalain mo, radio edit pala sa music video. Mahaba yun track but it's a dance/rock song in one track. Dance kasi sa drums and the synths, rock because of the lyrics and the usual UDD theme, fast yet deep track. Yun nga lang, ang haba. hehe
Feelings is good, better yun may duet track kahit ang intro panget but pagtagal, narealize ko mas maganda yun may duet version. Yun Indak and tadhana will make waves, although it's long but may feel na pang OST eh. Yeah I forgot, halos lahat ng kanta, pwedeng pang OST. hehe
I hope in their next album, that they will do more the usual UDD stuff. What I miss in the first album and definitely in this album, short songs that are powerful and has feelings to it. I don't know why they are not able to do that anymore, maybe it's harder for them pero for me yun ang nagdefine sa kanila. But kung di nila kaya, basta make music like in this album, basic yet more effective and lighter tunes. They can also do like sa bipolar but not for the whole album.
Besides they do have capacities...
