I just reviewed Michael McDonald for you (yes I know we have a wide musical taste here at your fave page) and I complained over the lack of production and good arrangements. That album had great classic tracks but suffered in the production of them. Here is quite the vice versa? Or I?m unfair to Marilyn if I said all the tracks are bad? They aren?t in a long way. But the best thing with this album is the production and the great arrangements. Damn cool! What a helluva sound! The Swedish guy Tim Skold (ex Shotgun Messiah, Kingpin) has done a tremendous job with it. It?s then a pity when the song material doesn?t come up in the same calibre called world class. There are sure some great modern metal tracks on here, but there are also few too many quite unnecessary nonsense tracks as well. And Marilyns androgyny voice is a bit to much, with quite a weak range. A pity. Still, I must suggest all you lovers of the industrial modern rock to take a close listen. On the good songs, these guys eat a lot of the other contenders for breakfast. And I?m sure we have seen the beginning of a brilliant producer career for Tim Skold. He will probably produce bands like Korn, Saliva, Adema and such in a near future and add tons of cool licks and vibes to these bands.
