Napalm\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Dutch formation NEMESEA return with their third outing. This time, the info says more mature, modern and contemporary. The guitars and vocalist Manda Ophuis are mentioned as the band\u00b4s strongholds, and the song material is apparently outstanding. Let\u00b4s find out!<\/p>\n
The title track is apparently a sub-minute intro of sorts. Not much to brag about and what\u00b4s with the idea of having tracks that are not real instrumentals, neither real songs? Anyway, the album is filled with quite modern but also very attractive modern rock, a lot of synth elements, maybe too many, and the fantastic voice of Manda. The promised guitar work (by Hendrik Jan (HJ) De Jong is really in the background. But the keys\/electronics by Lasse Dellbrugge is at the front of most of the songs. I get the feeling of a very varied set of influences. The rock is often weaker than the 80\u00b4s synth influence. Still they are listenable enough, even highly so in the ballad \u201cIf You Could\u201d, the duet \u201cIt\u00b4s Over\u201dplus the ESC material \u201cAfterlife\u201d and the very alternative rocker \u201cCaught in the Middle\u201d. But the genre might be wrong. Alternative rock requires more rock, if you ask me. But still the music is entertaining and well executed. <\/p>\n
