Massiv in Mensch - Menschdefekt

Before I start this review, I must point out that Germans love euro techno, techno and rave. It's not a mere accident that bands like Scooter has survived such a long time. With this in mind, Massiv In Mensch present a type of music they call Dark Rave witch you could compare to techno with a hint of a heavier bass, a dark touch and some lyrics sung by a female every now and then.

The band succeeds at times to make danceable music, but maybe too "pop" to please the electro people. Now and then the band puts in a slow part in the music and this devastate the mood for dancing. This happen in the major part of the album, making me prefer that Massiv In Mensch should stake on more progressive music making instead of a mixture of fast and slow parts in the tracks.

But the act is still interesting enough and I'm curious about this band's development in the future. I will keep my eyes open for new material from Massive In Mensch and I hope they will get more progressive and heavier.
