Social Crash is roughly categorised as “Experimental” Punk hailing all the way from France. Their latest offering, Burn Out captured my attention as theur stylistic approach interested me. Before starting the review, here’s what the French musicians had to say about their music: “Welcome to the crazy and satirical world of Social Crash! At the border of punk rock and metal, our songs talk about various subjects such as reality TV, globalization, the “humanitarian wars”, the banksters power… Corrosive lyrics and explosive beats with high distortion level. Let’s rock!”…
The album starts with a good intro riff that will surely get the listeners hooked and engaged. However amid the perfectly executed Guitar passages, I do sense some slight imperfection on the production as the bass drum sound barely matches the rest of the Instrumentation. Second track, Still Wolf to Man is an unfortunate let down as the transitions are a bit puzzling ant the vocal style so executed might not interest everyone but the amount of versatality and skills put into is much appreciative. As the track-list progresses my hope for the album decreased but my interest got escalated as soon as I got a glimpse of the sixth track, Weapon of Mass Seduction. Arguably the best track on this album, the song has got a well arranged Instrumentation and a perfect and catchy chorus, which are all enough to make this song a sure hit. The rest of the track-list is well worth of a first listen however I doubt one might revisit the songs once again.
Altogether a good effort in making an original and versatile album in a stereotypically ridden Music industry. However the effort is not enough to score high since I do find some minor issues on the album. Meanwhile the album can not be categorised as a major let down as I enjoyed every second of it on the first listen however the second listen wasn’t that much of a happy journey. That being said I categorise Burn Out as an album that is definitely worth a try, but I’m unsure about the responses It’ll stack as the album itself is different and might not please everyone.
