4.0 out of 5 stars An unenlightened opinion, May 28, 2000

I'd heard only unmemorable snippits of this band before I heard "Schnitzel Boy" on the radio. It was enticingly clever, catchy, and comparatively hardcore, but I didn't know who the artist was. I searched and found it was by Consolidated, which surprised me because I thought they were strictly industrial, or at least more electronic. The whole album, while not quite as tight, is mostly very good harder rock with a mind behind it (again knowing nothing else by them) and an occasional dash of technology. It gets preachy, perhaps even heavy-handed, but that doesn't really detract from the sound. More power to them if they can make a musically-sound political album. All in all, this doesn't convince me to buy another album new, but it's a welcome addition to the collection (and should be in yours as well).

Consolidated's latest album. It's great but not as superb as the others. I was a little disappointed in it. Not the power that I expect from Consolidated. They seem to be missing something hmmm .......

This review is from: Dropped (Audio CD)

This is the sixth release by Consolidated that I have listened to in the past couple of months. All the releases have something to offer, but I really think three of them are exceptional; "Friendly Fascism", "Business of Punishment", and now "Dropped".
On "Dropped", most of the audience banter is gone, and rap/techno beats are not as prevelant. But the musice is still politically aware and delivered with a funky vibe. I think the album has some weaker songs at the beginning, songs like "Schnitzel Boy" and "Coming of Rage" are not the best this CD has to offer. But I love everything after track six. I would pick "Headgear" as the best song, followed by "Recovered Memory", "I'm Sorry Mat", "Tin Man", "Craig", "Why Doesn't He Stop", and "Fractured Fairytales" among others. "Dropped" might well be my favorite album by "Consolidated". (But I have yet to hear anything released after this one).
