Once again Leaetherstrip has taken yet another right angle in terms of musical
direction. As with the last album Claus has removed vocal modification of any
kind in favor of his natural vocal styles. The primary effect this has is to
remove much of the upbeat nature of the music and instead make it very
depressing and angstful. Then then electronics drop to the most minimal level
since his first release, which makes it ultimately sound like a stripped down,
and uncompleted work. A few of the tracks do still contain some of the famous
club appeal that Leaetherstrip broke for European electro acts. Yet the
majority of album would be more appropriately labeled electro goth due to the
use of macabre and monotone programming methods. Unfortunately I think
will turn away a large portion of Leaetherstrip's fanbase as a result due
to the drastic change of style and tone.
