It was so bad I couldnt even laugh at it. It's the Highlander 2 of music albums.

Yeah the first highlander wasnt even good. Pendulum wasn't, so this is more depressing in its shitness.

"It's lacking the soul that most derivative electro house still retains, keeping it at a 2/2.5. This is just something else entirely."
This sounds like most other derivative electro house to me, and especially similar to Rage Valley. "Power Glove" especially is just another Knife Party track to my ears. LRAD and EDM Machine feel especially uninspired among their stuff I agree, and Internet Friends VIP is what it is. But I'm not seeing a real big difference between this and what they've been releasing before it.

It's because it also lacks the "fun factor" to an extent. Like, 100% No Modern Talking was kinda new and before electro house was getting really aggravating, and Rage Valley at least didn't have every song sound the same (see: Bonfire, Sleaze). This is essentially four identical songs

I still can't believe they put Pendulum on hold to make shitty, run of the mill dubstep. Knife Party is really lame.
|

I don't think there's even any dubstep at all here. Just straight 4x4 house

Know that I'm kind of playing devil's advocate on some of my arguments here because I do think this really sucks, but I actually really disagree with:
This is essentially four identical songs
Within their style at least, I find the tracks to be pretty different. Power Glove and LRAD especially. Power Glove is kind of the sound I identify these guys with, with the aggressively overdriven synth-lines, where LRAD focuses more on some really (cheesy) anthemic trance-like builds and a more rhythm-based "drop". LRAD definitely sounds more like a style ripped from other people in the scene, so I'm not praising it for being different but I didn't find this to be overly homologous, at least in comparison to what I was expecting.
And yeah this is almost all just house except the 2nd drop of the VIP is a dubstep section (and the best part of the EP, IMO).

I'd honestly still call it homogeneous simply because I honestly see no difference between Power Glove and LRAD. Sure, on the surface they sound different, great. Power Glove is wub-wub-wub electro house, LRAD is the faux-minimalist electro house that's become really popular over the course of the past few months. But really, they're kind of the same thing. Maybe it's just that my tastes have changed, but a few months ago I would have said those two were totally different. Now, I look at them and see them as mildly different stems from the same seed. I call them identical not because they sound exactly the same, but because you could throw both of them into any big DJ's festival set at any point during a house section and not really notice anything different - they're both made to party, with a factory-made purpose and way of reaching that goal. It's honestly just that they're two sides of the same coin that is today's mainstream electro house, no matter whether they're superficially similar or different.
