Album Review: Enter Shakari - The Mindsweep

"If you’re a fan, you’ve a lot to look forward to."

If you haven’t enjoyed Enter Shikari’s output to date, this record isn’t going to change that.

However, if you’re a fan, you’ve a lot to look forward to. Lyrically, the band still likes to talk political and social issues they consider significant, but these English lads aren’t the type to stick to a sound, and they’ve pushed the boundaries further on their quest to explore the marvels of synth and electronic work, complete with surging guitar riffs and explosive drum work. Rou Reynolds’ vocals are as raw as ever, and the signature ES harmonies remain.
