Well there was a big question mark hanging over this one wasn't there? Everyone knew it was going to be absolute shite becasue infected mushroom want to actually make some money so have tried to become mainstream. making music for people who might actually buy it instead of downloading it even if they love it. Fair enough I think. I just have a few questions about this release. Is it Psy? No Does it have psy influences? Some Does it have guitars? Yes Are the guitars done well? Yes (mostly) Does it have vocals? Yes Are they shite? A lot of them, yes Do they ruin tracks? yes Is it cheesy? Hell yes Is it fun? Quite Is this enjoyable cheese made well? Yes Are you going to like if you are a psy/goa/oldschool purist? No Will you like it you have an open mind? Maybe Is it for everyone? No way Abasio, do you like it? Yeah, it's okay Tracklist 1 Becoming Insane (7:20) 2 Artillery (4:28) 3 Vicious Delicious (7:24) 4 Heavy Weight (8:41) 5 Suliman (6:10) 6 Forgive Me (3:29) 7 Special Place (6:53) 8 In Front Of Me (4:28) 9 Eat It Raw (6:30) 10 Change The Formality (7:44) 11 Before (6:57) 1. Becoming Insane Spanish Guitars, electric guitars, dodgy vocals but it all seems to work well together. It feels summery like at a beach party surrounded by bikini clad beauties shaking there thing!! 2. Artillery Sounds like it belongs on Converting Vegetarians (CV) The Other Side but I like this more than anything I heard on that CD. It's a cool funky track & I think my favourite so far on this album. 3. Vicious Delicious This title track is great! It has melody, pace, energy, psy sounds & an interesting baseline. It's emotional if a little cheesy. It has everything that can make you cringe but it's all done pretty well so sounds kinda good 4. Heavyweight Guitars, some weird vocal sample. This track could have been disastrous but it's made well & ended up sounding pretty good. I've heard a lot of people say this is the best on the album but I don't think so. It's okay but I'm afraid it is the start of the decline of this album. Some of the guitars verge on the annoying towards the end of the track 5. Suliman Sounds like Infected Mushroom circa BP Empire but not quite as good. Thumping good beat, interesting sounds. Just ok 6. Forgive Me Vocoder Short CV other side material but not very good 7. Special Place Cheesy Cheesy build up!!! Starts trancey & it's okay then does this big long drum roll & drops into this CV Other side style track. It's shite!!! The vocals are bloody awful! 8. In Front Of Me More vocals but they fit a lot better into this track. The difference here is that the singer can actually sing quite well. It's not great, it's nothing to do with psy at all, it's very popish but it's okay for what it is. I am just dreading Dudev's cover of this at the festivals. 9. Eat it Raw Similar vein to Suliman, sounds a lot like BP Empire just not as good. Drum rolls & break downs make it sound a bit like a cheesy dancefloor killer but it's quite fun 10. Change the Formality Starts noisy with no real direction, a nice melody halfway through & a decent beat. The it's ruined by some shit vocals. SHITE!!! 11. Before Instantly forgettable but after a few listens it turned out pretty good. Makes you wonder why infected don't have to projects. Stuff like this & mainstream pop! All in all then this is quite a mixed bag. Some tracks are really good, some are a bit cheesy but quite alright and then 2 tracks are just ruined by shitty shitty shitty vocals. I don't get who finds these vocals to be good but obviously some people do so there they are. As an album I like it. It makes me smile at times, cringe at times but I think I'll be listening to this a bit this summer! One last point about infected mushroom. There albums always sound better than there live shows. I know we will be seeing some shocking performances on youtube come summer with Dudev being a prick & ruining every track as the crowd goes nuts to his tone deaf stylings I'm not going to complain about selling out becasue if I had talent & the opportunity I definately would. They do not make psy trance any more. I don't know what this style is, it has a lot of different influences & it's probably there own style, they are pioneers maybe Either way, Infected Mushroom have talent, like their style of not it's true. Don't dislike this just because it's not pure Psy! Give it a chance. Favourites 1, 2!, 3 Fucking awful tracks 7!!! 10!

the nippon express man just paid me a visit & handed my a package containing these

Yeah! Money man! I love it & even if I'm dissapointed I don't begrudge other people making it!

How about if the album truly sucks, in everyway? It's not a fullon sellout or whatever but just crap?

People use it for different things but it is the sound of a dunce (very low intelligence person) when trying to think but can't understand duuuuuhhhhhhh..... people now say it sarcastically to show that what someone has just said is stupi/obvious eg A. You know radi likes hallucinogen B. Well Duh!! edit: I used it to indicate that I was a dunce because I couldn't choose

*drools* <<<<< shouldn't put anything else on my Visa this month but I may have to now.

I recently bought a Cell live set It has really really got me excited about a new album. It was

Only the sycophants I really like hallucinogen but also agree Simon P is overrated. Just the fact that he has sycophants that would describe his farts as "classic" shows this Not at all, I feel special that my favourite artists are ones that are not unique. That I own a CD that only another 200 hundred people in the whole world have etc. The masses listen to Britney Spears & their taste should not be coveted

Androcell - Caribbeyond

Pioneer : one who is first or among the earliest in any field of inquiry, enterprise, or progress surely we can count people who helped progress the sound aswell?

Makyo - Jasmine

I voted duh?? becasue I didn't know what to vote for! I love the beat the most but everything is important & it 'S the combination of everything that makes a track!

Cell live again damn good set

I should be recieving a nice package today But it's recorded delivery & I have to go out so I'll more than likely have to wait until friday

Cell - Live @ Glade 2005

A dissapointing album > no album IMO
