Review Type: 

Let’s be completely honest.  This is the first album I’ve listened to from this band. And I guess this will also be the last one.  What this band brings us, to me, sounds like a fabricated form of music.  They’ve started with a metal foundation, and then added layers of other types of music.  And for me it doesn’t really work. This is no real metal, far from it, not even nu-metal.  There are parts of pure pop music in it, despite the screaming guitars.

What must be said though is that the frontwomen, Maria Brink, not only looks rather appetizing, but that she can sing as well, although one wonders how much of it is real, and not due to an array of special studio effects that were added. One thing that’s also for sure, is that the songs are pretty catchy, so despite not really being my cup of tea, this is the type of album I might put on just to have some background music.

75/100
