Rating:

This CD is yet another stellar release from the band that brilliantly combines electronic grooves and no holds bar alternative rock.

You can lump Orgy in with the Korn's of the world, but their style is very appealing because it is so different. This CD is no exception. The cutting lyrics on tracks like "Inside My Head" and "Leave Me Out" incorporate soul searching in a very misleading and untrusting world of today.

Over the years the band has raised the bar on pushing elements of electronica with brain crushing guitars & drums, along with strong melodies. The equation has served the group well thus far. The intensity on this album doesn't loose momentum between tracks.

"Obvious" is a prime example of the killer equation at work. The underlying melody enforced with lyrics of growing up, older and wiser about life as a whole. The guitar line combined with the electronica add another intriguing layer to the song. Orgy has by far perfected the art of layering sounds, melodic textures to songs, which I have yet to hear anyone successfully achieve the same level of experience and savvy.

Definite 3 1/2 stars
