8 ears has outdone itself this time. Better than the last album. It is as if 8 ears has left its anger and emotional discords behind and move on to relish in the more uplifting aspects of life.
No, 8 ears has not sold its soul for commercialism. Neither has 8 ears had allowed itself to be a bit more accessible without compromise to its identity and sound. The unique retro-ish electronica signatures are still inherently coherent. Although 8 ears modestly refused to acknowledge it, I sense that 8 ears is now more confident and comfortable with its work.
The opening track, I Thought, I Thought is a work of redemption by 8 ears. It displays the sunny side that was absent in its previous works.
Sorry I Forgot has plenty of beeps and bleeps with a cheeky funky electronic chorus. It brings back memories of the early 80s Atari game console days. |
