3.0 out of 5 stars *Pretty good*, February 26, 2002

I would second that review of 3 stars. I bought this album after seeing the video for "We are not a rock band" on mtv2. I am a little bit disappointed because that video rocks and so does the song. To then go and listen to the album is then kind of a letdown. Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting record with definite high points, but its not great. My favorite song is "Freestyle Disco"...its like how-to-dance instructions mixed over a heavy beat that gets progressively louder and faster (to increase the difficulty as the dancer gets better)...pretty cool idea. It has the same light-hearted, fun vibe that "We are not a rock band" does. There are lulls in the album though, a lot of the same heavy baselines tend to run together. I do like this album however; its great to throw on if you're driving, or like me right now sitting at the computer kicking back. I'd say burn it before you buy it though.

This review is from: Mission Statement (Audio CD)

The rub of this CD is that most of the music was created on a PC using various software programs. Kraftwerk is a heavy influence here but there are smatterings of other influences such as a bit of hip hop. "We are Not A Rock Band" is the standout track and has hit potential in the club scene. I hear the video has gotten some airplay on MTV2 so I'm a little amazed that no one has reviewed this album yet. Most of the music would be categorized as electronica. No trance or house stylings here. It's an interesting listen as the music is mostly digitally generated. The liner notes are written in the manner of a coporate seminar which further flesh's out the artist's hi-tech vision. The final track has a memorable chorus "we are not a rock band/but we rock the house" sung through a vocoder.
