Over-Reactor Lose Your Delusion: Vol. 1 |
Over-Reactor Lose Your Delusion |
In a similar vein to Jerry Cantrell's seminal 'Degradation Trip', Over-Reactor have presented to us their penultimate release thus far: a compilation of 2010's seperately released double album, Lose Your Delusion Volumes 1 and 2. In its 16-track duration, not one gem is missed from the original albums, leaving only the best for this glorious Digipak release. With the likes of 'Word', 'All Shields Down', 'Point To Push', 'Best of Worst' and 'Control of This', this is the combined brute force that few single album releases can only hope to muster. It is appropriate that the band finally offer up some kind of compensation for their own work: their first release that actually costs something. Do yourself a favour and buy up now, if not for the music (are you crazy?) then for the artwork, which is scorching (pun intended) at the least. |

Three quarters Mammal, one quarter the fun.rOnly one word can best describe BDYB's debut EP - average. However, that may not be entirely true. They may also be described as derivative, bland, boring and their respective synonyms. Although Mammal were nothing innovative, Ezekiel Ox's supercharged vocals set the band aside from the tired crowd that the instrumental section may invite themselves into, and gave the band personality. And if "blues-rock" doesn't already scream "lame", listen to debut single "One Dead Letter" - featuring the drum beat we've heard a thousand times, and the guitar riff we've heard two thousand times, it really is just average. Average. Average. Repeat that word a hundred times. That's just about as entertaining an activity as listening to this band's debut EP in its entirety. |
