5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning....A real step forward of Recoil, September 27, 2007

By	Sith - See all my reviews

This is a real step forward (much better than Liquid). The sound creative of this album is far beyond 'Playing the angel' though i didn't really want to compare with DM but it makes me curious what if DM would sound like if Alan still in the band. Listen to it from start to finish is a real stunning exprerience. One of the best album for year 2007 without a doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alan Wilder has set the bar high again, September 23, 2007

By	Xadrick (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

Brilliant & inspired. The album is the best in years (from any genre) and it feels like its own film score. Never has blues, electronic elements, samples & various atmospheric textures been blended together so beautifully to make something that is both wonderfully dark & epic.

Alan Wilder is one of the few musicians/producers these days who never disappoints. Like anything that's worthwhile, this album requires a few listens to truly get addicted to. But any fan of music will find something to like about this album. The artwork is a nice touch too.

Favorite tracks include "The Killing Ground", "Allelujah", "5000 Years" & "Backslider".

5.0 out of 5 stars RECOIL!, August 16, 2007

By	tak1 - See all my reviews

Recoil has already established a tight discography before releasing their latest Subhuman. So it was very curious for me to see what sounds Subhuman would obtain. I believe this record is coherent from beginning to end but still offers many ideas throughout that makes it interesting to listen to. As always, the overall vibe of the music is more cinematic but with a more grassroots blues kind of feel. Yes, before Recoil made some tracks with the blues influence but this time it's more of the central point. My personal favorite tracks are 3,4 and 6.
Recoil should be applauded for making music that stands on its own. When you listen to the music, you sense that there's no fulfilling of anyone's expectations but the artist's own.
