Comments on: Review: Pendulum - In Silico http://www.goreki.com/2008/05/review-pendulum-in-silico/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:48:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: JuJu http://www.goreki.com/2008/05/review-pendulum-in-silico/#comment-112 JuJu Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:49:21 +0000 http://www.goreki.com/blog/?p=31#comment-112 In Silico is a load of shit, it's certainly not drum & bass. The problem is there is not enough of the rock element to entice rock fans, and their sound is too watered down for real d&b fans. Who do they appeal to now? The lyrics are heavily treated and beyond inane, and there isn't a quality beat on the entire record. Showdown isn't too bad though. The album will probably sell quite well, as it has been promoted a lot more than H.Y.C, but I think they will lose a lot of credibility. This is an attempt to cross over, and good luck to them, I'm sure it will make them a lot of money. I think in a few years time the electronic element of their music might be gone completely. I can't say I care one way or the other. In Silico is a load of shit, it’s certainly not drum & bass.

We'll have to see what the next album brings, maybe they will go back to a similar style as Hold Your Color. haha no problem.

Apologies, please disregard previous comments. Listening to the real stuff and not remix, a lot better.. tho Hold Your Color still superior. Gah! just found out i had a borked version of the album!!

From the solid mixed beats and lyrics of Hold Your Color which was brilliant to this. Repeating the same verse and tune over and over does not make a good song and does not make a good album. Sorry to all you die hard D&B fans out there but this is just terrible and I sincerely hope Pendulum can get back to the magic they have before.

I've taken a passing interest in Pendulum ever since hearing their version of the Prodigy's 'Voodoo People', and while I've never been able to listen to an entire track from Hold Your Colour (it's not that they're bad, they're just a bit dull once you get past the minute mark...) there isn't a single track on In Silico that I dislike, and I reckon this review sums up the good and bad of the album pretty well.

Thanks for being anal-retentive about it rather than simply notifying me of my mistake. A simple mistake that I made once in the whole review.

To bad I think the second album utterly sucks and is boring and in now way innovative or refreshing. The first 2 verses: love them!

The first 2 verses: love them!
