I have never listened to Enter Shikari before, but after listening to their new album, "A Flash Flood of Colour" once, I have fell in Love with the band's metal roots mixed in with Electronic Beats. I had learned about the new album through Alternative Press, who described, "Rocks like Rage Against the Machine's Battle of Los Angeles". Their openining song, "System" is a combination of short laments, heavy metal roots, and perfectly incorperated keyboards. They continue with similar songs, "Sssnakepit" and "Gandhi Mate, Gandhi". "Searchparty", Stalemate", and "Warm Smiles Don't Make You Welcome" stand out because they take a lighter tone, but still complient Rou Reynolds' voice and The Band's Instrumental Talent. The only thing I have to Complain is there is a quite a bit of Explicit Language and should be stickered like their other albums. I'm not saying that it is bad or Disturbed me, but it should have Parental Discretion for younger audiences. Overall, this album should be one to remember and I hope Enter Shikari will continue with more amazing music.

After hearing some of their songs through a friend i picked up this CD. Two of the songs are catchy and worth having, tho not amazing. The rest of them... There are good moments in each of their songs, but im not willing to listen to a song thats 65% whining with "electronic beats" that sound like the noises my old speakers made after they blew out. Usually I never call music whiny, I like bands like taking back sunday, but I dont need to hear someone's political messages, I listen to music to get away from that

It's too bad when you hear musicians with actual talent breaking into primal screams and thrashing nothingness........they were better before, must be running out of ideas
