After years of production and several delays, Wreckage, the debut album from Overseer, is finally here and ready to set the world ablaze. More than likely, you've probably already heard a good number of these tracks, seeing as how they've been used in the soundtracks of multiple movies, video games, and TV shows. While there really isn't anything that hasn't already been done on this album, the songs themselves provide a genuine and refreshing glimpse into the mind of Rob Overseer and his vast imagination, however semi-plagiristic that imagination may at times seem. Let's take a look, shall we?
1. Slayed - 4.5/5: This song sounds like a mix between the Crystal Method and the Beastie Boys. Not my favorite song on here, but not bad by any means
2. Stompbox - 5/5: This track showcases one of Overseer's specialties: mixing electronic-based music with hard rock. It's a good song to be played while participating in atheletic activities, which is quite fitting, as it was featured in the film "Any Given Sunday."
3. Supermoves - 10/5: My personal favorite of this album and quite possibly one of my favorite electronic songs ever. This song is just so fast-paced and powerful that it must be heard to be believed. If you've ever seen the movie "Snatch" or the trailer to "The Matrix Reloaded," you've heard this incredible track.
4. Velocity Shift - 5/5: This is the shortest song on the album, but it's still very, very good. It reminds me a little of a slightly harder Fatboy Slim. This song was one of two Overseer tracks featured in the game "Stuntman", as well as several various commercials.
5. Horndog - 4/5: And now we have the first single which, if you have seen the Mitsubishi Endeavor commercial, you have no doubt heard. It's a rather good mid-tempo song with an excellent bassline, but it's not really the reason you should by this CD (Supermoves is reason enough).
6. Meteorology - 3.5/5: Now the album takes a little break from all the ferocity of the first few tracks. This song is pretty good, but it's not the best of the low-tempo offerings on this album. It's actually pretty weird on the first listen, but not nearly as strange as Heligoland.
7. Aquaplane - 3/5: This is just about the same as Meteorology, only a tad bit slower and done using a different vocal style. Whereas Meteorology sounds like something Moby would do, Aquaplane sounds, in my opinion, very Gorillaz-ish.
8. Doomsday - 5/5: Back to the fast songs. This is my second favorite track after Supermoves. It combines rock, hip-hop, and electronica to produce a song rather reminescent of something BT might do.
9. Basstrap - 5/5: The other song that was in "Stuntman", which sounds very much like it's partner, Velocity Shift, although it's longer and has more vocals. A very catchy song.
10. Sparks - 4/5: This song sounds a little bit out of place. It's more along the lines of something Sarah McClaughlin would do instead of anything else on the record. That having been said, it's the best of the low-tempo songs and is not bad by any means.
11. Never - 2/5: Okay, this is by far THE worst song on the album. Hip-hop I can take, but this... It borders almost on gangsta rap!! While the ambient background music and female vocals in the chorus sound good, they simply cannot make up for the ghetto-centric lyrics. My least favorite on the CD.
12. Heligoland - 3/5: And we end with perhaps the weirdest song of the record, which consists of Moby-like ambient swirls complimented by what appears to be a weather-forecaster speaking complete and total nonsense, followed by a phone that rings for upwards of twenty minutes, only to hang up when someone finally answers and says "'Ello!" It's weird for sure, but it's not the worst thing I've ever heard.
All in all, this is a very solid release from an artist you've probably all heard before but you just don't know his name. Well, it's Overseer. Rob Overseer. And his CD, Wreckage, deserves to be bought. By YOU.

The reason I like bands like "The Crystal Method" and "The Chemical Brothers" is that their music sounds like (and usually is) the soundtrack to a really cool action movie. The music is furious, the lyrics are clever wordplays that don't make sense (and don't need to), and it gets your blood pumping. Overseer's "Wreckage" is almost as good as those two bands.
Dense musical compositions, strange sounds (like an airplane's sonic boom) used for effect, and truly (and I say this proudly) "head-pounding" beats. Unfortunately for some, the reason this all sounds so good is because we've heard it before. There's a song from the "Any Given Sunday" movie soundtrack, two songs from "The Animatrix" soundtrack, and "Horndog", the song played in the Mitsubishi Endeavor commercials (you know the one, where they cut to "Sponge Bob Squarepants" in the middle). I don't mind, as I don't have any of the aforementioned albums, but those that do, you already own 1/4 of the 12 songs on this track, keep that in mind. And they're the best songs on the album.
The rest of the album, however, holds up pretty well. There are a few slow, "trance-y" songs, like "Meteorology", "Aquaplane", and "Sparks", which remind me of Massive Attack or Nick Cave, or even Rob Dougan's classical-electronic sound. They're good, and flow with the rest of the album quite nicely. Also adding variety are some hip-hop influenced songs, tracks like "Doomsday" and "Never", which remind me of a slower BT, in a good way. This all adds up to a wide selection of sounds and keeps things interesting.
All in all, the wait was very long (the album was delayed many times), but it really was worth the wait.

No matter whether you are the biggest fan of Overseer, or have never heard of them before, you would have doubtlessly heard their music. Many of the songs featured on this album have been played on the TV, in games, or in movies. Examples include 'Supermoves' being played in both The Matrix and Snatch, 'Horndog' played in Eurotrip, and 'velocity Shift' and 'Basstrap' both being played in the game Stuntman. Understandably, there will be some who do not like this, but I find it fairly hard to categorise this particular style. There is such a variety of styles, whether it be techno, rap, metal, triphop etc. I have found this to be one of the very few albums available today that I can listen to every song without having to reach for the 'skip' button. All of these songs, no matter what the style, compliment eachother supremely, and Overseer should, without a doubt, become a big name in years to come.

The review given by P-57 is a shallow glance at what "Wreckage" really is, minimizing it when it really is a massive music producing undertaking with mostly great results. Read more
