Reviews / Album

They jump through dozens of eclectic ideas, both sonic and conceptual, a cacophonous melange at times as alienating as it is interesting.

Solid and unpredictable.

While She Sleeps have delivered a solid album with the ability to satiate the thirst of any metal fan, progressive enough for those with such an itch while, I dare to claim, it’s delivered with enough intensity for the purists.

If there’s anything keeping this soundtrack from dominating other chart releases it is the sheer length, but the balance of modern and old makes for a great listen and a more than decent driving album.

The lyrics are powerful, cheerful, and clichéd at times but nevertheless worthy of a slot in you CD collection.

It also doesn’t tire after repeat listens and, while more garden than ghetto for the most part, gives lovers of multiple genres of electronica something to sink their teeth into.

Hypnotic Nights sees JEFF The Brotherhood take a further step into the mainstream, while balancing the fine line of impressive melody and DIY-punk ethos.
