On “A Discord Electric”, Denmark’s pop metallers most definitely don’t live up to their name. The songs on here are anything but raunchy. Sure, they’ve still got the heavy riffs and the thundering drums going on throughout the entire album, but the poppy synth sound and catchy choruses are taken to new extremes.
It seems this time around they went into the studio with an ‘anything goes’ (or a ‘fuck them all’) attitude and threw whatever they could think of at the songs, hoping it would stick. It actually works for them and rather than sounding overtly poppy or bombastic, they ended up with an album that has a little bit of something for everyone. And while listening to opener “Dim The Lights And Run” or “Nght Prty”, the things you don’t love at first are more than likely to grow on you as time goes by. Okay, so maybe “Big Truth” is a little too cheesy but let’s blame the synth pop band Dune for that… after all two of its members are helping out in the song.
If you’re into the likes of Sonic Syndicate, Lacuna Coil or Threat Signal, you should do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
Score: 7 out of 10
