5.0 out of 5 stars NO COMPLAINTS, July 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Polarity (Audio CD)

Polarity is probably Haujobb's most structured and commercial release to date. It sounds a lot like their 1996 hit album, Solutions For A Small Planet with hints of their last album, NinetyNine. I feel that this is the perfect fusion of laid back minimal electronics with moments of fast-paced, harsh techno. Dan Myer has also improved on his vocals and added some emotion. It is very obvious that Haujobb are the true leaders of the EBM sub-genre in the dying world of industrial music. Great songs are: Boom Operator, Subsonic, Unseeing, and my personal favorite, Violator. The only song I don't care for is Your Pilot. This is the perfect album for newcomers to Haujobb and devoted fans like myself. Next, try Solutions and NintyNine. Even though this album will never get radio or TV air time, this artful band will always continue to release great music under the ever so fabulous Metropolis Records.

I haven't heard other Haujobb CD's, such as Solutions, but I have had a lot of experience with the genre's blended here. I have to say, this CD is amazing. The vocals are strong in almost every song, and same with the tunes. The production is great: no clicking, popping, tons of great twists, effects, and sounds. The lyrics are great in my opinion, and the vocals match well. Altogether the CD can range from dark to rageful, such as in Last Hero, where Myers seems generally ticked off. The amount of ingenuity and creativity I found in this cd is phenominal. This is now one of my favourite CD's.

This review is from: Polarity (Audio CD)

id have to say this is the one haujobb cd that i like generally all the songs off of. solutions for a small planets had some really good songs but some really awful ones as well. i like the balance of mysterious strings and minor notes that really put you in another curious world. however my one complaint about this is there could be a little more originality in variations between the different tracks. though the album is well rounded, it doesnt have as quite as many mind blowingly extravagant songs as their earlier albums such as freeze frame reality. intros and interludes were better on the earlier albums as well. nevertheless still an excellent album.
