Music reviews of Apocalypso
Music Review: Great album, but Beams is better
Rating: 4 Stars
The first time i heard The Presets was on a music channel shortly before Beams was released, it was the then current single - Are You The One?
Purchasing their debut album Beams, it delivered exactly what i was looking for... thundering electro mixed with some low-key tracks and instrumentals.
For this reason i rate Beams as being better than Apocalypso. It is more varied - while Apocalypso has it's non-dancey tracks, they don't seem to equal the tracks from Beams. Some could see this as a progression from their first album but i feel like they have lost a bit of the variety they used to have, instead focusing on the more danceable side of their music.
Apocalypso is a great album and it's far more easily accessed than Beams. From the very start with Kicking and Screaming it smashes its way through your head and assaults your eardrums in a flurry of distortion and thumping percussion, only breifly alleviated by tracks like Aeons and If I Know You.
This album is perfect for those who love a good slice of rough electro,
however i feel it lacks the depth and diversity displayed on Beams.
