Just a short and compact review:
The last release 2004 "Who needs love songs" is still one of my favorite Psytrance albums. So the expectations were high and I was really excited when I found out about "Saved".
But after having gone through all tracks the album left me kind of puzzled. Disappointed.
Track 1 is pretty good, pushy, nice sounds and top notch production. But the female singer sounds...very commercial.
Same with Track 2, nice atmopshere and of high quality, but than again, at the end of the track these female vocals ("Stand with me!"). These parts sound really cheesy. I was listening to the track again after a couple of days and liked it more. Might these cheesy vocals be intended to be like that (in an ironic way), or does sub6 really think that's kind of cool??? As I wrote before, I am a bit puzzled there.
Track 3 is very boring, you know the sounds they use very well from the last album. It's not a bad thing to copy yourself, but hey - this track sounds like everything - but new.
Track 4 is ok, but I didn't get hooked.
Track 5 is good, average Psy, next to Track 1 the best on the album. But again: nothing special.
What has happened to Sub6? I like their funk & disco elements in the new EP, but besides the really high production quality there seems no progress compared to "Who needs...".
What do you think about the release?
