Ladytron
Evil
Telstar Records
If you’re into any form of dance/alternative music
then this should be good enough for you.
Ok, a more laid-back dance release though having already
built a good reputation Ladytron now have another notch
on there belt with this one. Evil isn't that Evil but it
has promise and that should keep most happy. Now having
the pleasure of good reviews in NME the future can only
be bright for them. We are confronted with smooth vocals
and lyrics which convey simplicity yet get the message
across well. Long term it does not seem strong enough to
hold everyone's attention though a market for it still
remains. A group of people would appreciate it more as
easy listening. As far as recording goes the quality is
good if only a few more touches could be added including
an instrumental lead on the keyboard to break the song
up more.
All in all a reasonable crack at electro rock/pop Kraftwerk
style.
