HEALTH is an enigma when it comes to what they were and where they are going. Every album feels like they are on the cusp of making the most revolutionary soundtrack to the end of the world (i.e.d the classic formula of industrial music). On their most recent set of compiled tracks from the last few years, they almost perfectly nail that idea on the head. This album is like a showing of what classic industrial music across the board (hip-hop, metal, rock, and electronic) can be. But also, what the future may hold for the band and for the album in general. The premise of this album is each track was pre-produced and made by another artist and the artists/bands they brought in are beyond my comprehension. For one, you have a bedroom pop idle soccer mommy on the same album as experimental pop outfit Xui Xui. Or how they have explosive rapper JPEGMAFIA and deathgrind band Full of Hell. So many memorable highlights here and you cannot miss it. The only rough song on here is the one with post-punk and minimal wave outfit The Soft Moon, which doesn?t feel complete or go anywhere interesting.
