November Process - Newspeak

The German-American project November Process do it like many other bands do nowadays and varies between EBM and Futurepop. Every now and then they also have some drop back guitars in the more powerful tracks to increase the pressure. You are even able to hear some inlays of synthpop here and there.

You could almost describe this records different tracks and moments like a newborn child. First a little bit calm, curious and next to naive to become more and more frustrated over the insight of how the world really is like and in the end it's really angry and pissed off.

This debut album is sometimes quite mediocre and meaningless. It doesn't feel creative and new, almost like you have heard it a couple of times before. Nevertheless it have its highs with the tracks like "Stability", "Decadence" and most of all "Mindshadow (v2)" and in the end it makes this album quite good.
