Genre/Influences: Dark-rock, metal-rock.
Background/Info:
Three years after their
excellent debut album “The Whole Universe”, Soulimage are back on track
unleashing their newest opus. Rob E. Soul (vocals and electronics) and Patty
Juhasz (guitars) joined forces together with several ‘guests’ to accomplish
this new work.
Content:
Their previous full
length revealed certain symbiosis between guitar and electronics, creating a
kind of rock-pop harmony. “Human Kind – Animal Mind” moves a step further
getting us to a harder dark-rock style, sometimes empowered with metal
influences. This work is more driven by the guitar play, revealing several
guitar solos. I also noticed a few post-punk passages. The songs have been sung
in English featuring a few female backing parts.
+ + + :
I really enjoyed the
intro of the album, which is perfectly symbolizing its title “Time”. But it’s
not that representative for the rest of the album, which is definitely
appealing for lovers of dark-rock music. The tracks are well-crafted and the
guitar solo parts will ravish fans of rock music. The style and influences have
somewhat changed. The global sound production is absolutely professional!
– – – :
I definitely prefer their
previous album because of the more explicit ‘pop’ touch, which I’m missing
here. I can’t say that their previous work was an ‘original’ one, but I think
it was more accessible for a wider ‘indie’-like audience.
Conclusion:
Soulimage has somewhat
evolved in style; the sound becomes harder, but is it really better and/or an
improvement compared to their previous work? I don’t think so!
Best songs:
“Children Of Tomorrow”,
“Animal Mind”, “Time (Intro)”.
