Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name4.5 superbMnemic Mechanical Spin PhenomenaThis album really delivers in almost every aspect. Industrial/Groove metal. At times it sounds almost djent like, definitely a must listen even if you hate the rest of what they put out over the years. Almost nothing wrong about this album. Very thrashy. It mimics messhugah in it's heavier parts and it's melodic parts don't remind me of anything except themselves. Very hype-y, groovy, pretty brutal album.4.0 excellentEmmure The Respect IssueMnemic The Audio Injected SoulThis album got me into this band. I thought it was pretty solid. It does get "repetitive" at some points, after all it's industrial metal. At some points it sounds almost djent-y. I feel however this is not the magnum opus. Mechanical Spin Phenomena was way better flow wise and groove wise. Atleast the Duran Duran cover kicks huge ass.3.5 greatCrystal Lake True NorthThe sound of this album is all over the place but sounds fairly alright. Each track sounds like the band couldn't decide on a single genre so they each compromised. And that's a good thing in this instance. You can't pinpoint the exact genre of any track. At some points it sounds tech death-ish, nu metal-ish, metalcore-ish, deathcore-ish, a bit djenty, and almost pop punk or techno at some points. Usually this would be a turn off for me, but it warrants atleast a second listen just because of how well they pulled it off. An example of perfectly blended genres. 3.0 goodNovelists Noir2.5 averageMnemic MnemesisThis is a pretty alright album. Alright though, is all it is in my mind. It's a half-return to the style of Audio Injected Soul and is primarily melodic. If you listen strictly to the instrumentation, it's pretty average. The vocal style used is a cross between post hardcore and some pretty good low-to-mid-screams. If you listen strictly to the vocals, the style they're going for is pretty dated but well done. It's only when the two come together when you will find it to be alright. It definitely isn't the best. Contends with some of the more average or worse Spineshank or Sybreed albums I've listened to. I might be going a bit too hard on it but I'll give it a 2.5 for being listenable. Atleast it's not Passenger. That album is pretty gross in a bad way. 1.5 very poorMnemic PassengerThis album is not very interesting to the average listener. Vocals are a monstrocity. Mixing is not the best. Instrumentation is ALMOST the simplest it ever was in this band. Mainly, the vocals present itself as an overly Fear Factory influenced mess. The talk before tHE SCREAM and EVERY othER woRD is Half SCREAmed. Either that or very drawn out high-mid screams that sound absolutely awful. Lyrics feel lazy, instrumentation is drowned out by the screams and chorus' in mixing so most of what you hear is just muddy bass behind this underdeveloped vocalist. Wholly nothing outstanding about this album besides *maybe* two or three songs. If you were to separate individual tracks and listen to them, they wouldn't be too bad, but together they just don't flow or sound interesting. It's like someone who doesn't know how to write writing alot to compensate but instead this band thought if they were louder that would fix their problems. If there was a reason for someone to hate this band, this would be it. But even then, to judge a band on one work is treason to metal.
