After a short nicey intro, you need to wait during the next 2 tracks, as Suzzy

 

Surprise & Tunnel has really nothing special to offer apart empty space and

 

boredom ,before having some tasty Exaile stuffs between your ears.

 

 

Connection, from far the sweetest tracks from the album with some fluffy synths

 

which comes at around 3 minutes and also on the end. At 5:30, some very soft

 

electric riffs are added.

 

It's probably the more subtle stuff from this album, a kinda morning with dull

 

sound indeed.

 

 

The Mad Midget has a groovy bassline with a usual up & down Exaile sound and

 

some tones hammered in the background then comes the break and arrives the

 

typical exaile's sound gimmick : on the same time power full & deaf , concerning

 

the melodic sound which follows this it's quite metallic & boisterous.

 

 

Here comes the most pumping section of the album with the next 3 tunes.

 

First, Tied Up (remix) very few things to say about it except that's the typical

 

effective Shaffel's sound so closer to Skazi's production especially after the break

 

sample « ladies & gentleman, we're experiencing technical difficults, please stand

 

by ».

 

 

Since the beginning, Miss Justin catches you with darker sounds and let guess

 

rougher tones & a madness adrenalistic explosion in his build up. All that things

 

expected, happened just after the fucking break with the warning alike gimmick

 

which goes on after & the amazing sample «hey Miss Justin, shake your ass,

 

baby, shake your ass » which completely drives you crazy.

 

 

Terrible bad news, with his joke on word-title Exaile with X-Ailes, the band didn't

 

win the « Laughing Academy ». Hopefully, the musical content of X-Ailes is

 

largely bettering the same style as Tied Up, but better with distorted electric guitar

 

riffs and the recurrent,haunting woman sample « dream on » .

 

 

The 2 last tracks are definitively the darkest & roughest of the album.

 

 

Give A Head is extreme, draws nearer to kinda mix of hardcore & industrial

 

music composed of sharp metallic squeaking sounds and a bassline which is not

 

far to rumble, to throb, but all in all this one keeps mostly dark full on oriented and

 

don't go minimal at any time for my mind.

 

 

Behind Give A Head, Ten Hours Out seems softer at first. But a groovy still dark

 

& loud bassline remain, and also a slapping rhythmic, indeed reminds a bit of

 

KURO – Precision but with highly sharpen tones added.

 

 

Best moments :4,7,8

 

Nice stuffs :5,6,9

 

In my opinion, it just lacks more tracks like The Mad Midget instead of tracks 2,3

 

&10 to this album in order to be a good one.

 

So as a result i rank it as a nice one.

 

 

Mark :7,5/10
