4.0 out of 5 starspsychedelic sampled industrial??? well, good music.
By D. M. MATALLIN on June 28, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I neglected this band for almost 10 years. I remember when I was about to start working in a program about industrial music in a radio station (well, they kid me and never gave me that job, sob sob) somebody lent me an album by The Young Gods and I almost didn't pay any attention to it convinced that my Front Line Assembly/Wumpscut/NIN/etc albums were much better. Now some of those bands bore me, some I still love. But I have quite recently discovered that The Young Gods deserved attention.
Well, to the point. I bought this album, which is their latest so far. And when I started listening to it I was instantly hooked. It is industrial if we accept labels, but it's not so easily categorised. It has something of the psychedelic bands of the 70's (not so much in this album as in other albums but oh well).
They basically work with sampled guitars which usually make a dense sonic wall, dynamic electronic basses and good beats that may change several times within a song. They don't bore me at all, cos unlike other "industrial" bands I don't want to mention, they touch very different moods and tempos with their songs.
Second nature is a very good industrial album. The guitar and electronic parts are very balanced, but not in a fight or a clean partition (50% guitars, 50% electronics), but instead they form together a very intelligent body of sound. Oh words words words. Sorry, to the music.
The album starts with 2 industrial bombs, 'Lucidogen' and 'Supersonic'. This guy knows how to use his voice. He is agressive but not in a hey-my-throat-seems-to-be-swallowing-nails way (let's think KMFDM, FLA, Wumpscut...), but more in a rockish way. In fact, I think The Young Gods is a rock band, just... experimental and conscious of their sonic experimentation.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsYoung Gods at its best
By A Customer on January 20, 2004
Format: Audio CD
One of the most acomplished album of the band, be it for music or lyrics.
And ... for my american co-reviewer, two tricks for your general culture :
- Switzerland happens not to be in France and thus its inhabitants are called ... the Swiss
- some of the lyrics are not in bad English but ... in French.
Cheers,

3.0 out of 5 starsgetting older
By David on August 7, 2003
Format: Audio CD
What I liked about The Young Gods of old was how focused they were; their songs were tight little gems, for the most part. On Second Nature, there's too much meandering and goofing around; a lot of the music sounds like stuff other bands would discard as noodling. There are a few good numbers here, but they should've waited to release it until they had an album's worth.
