Cybersnake - Internet Album

'The Snake' sounds almost like it is going to be an interesting and aggressive industrial rock instrumental intro until the timid and flat vocals come in - the whole track seems to be emulating the recent COLLIDE album and falling far short of its mark. 'Music is Life' attempts to sound like a rock cover of a Eurovision entry from a country that didn't discover pop music until two weeks ago, and unfortunately it hits its square on the head. 'Sex' suffers from some terrible electronics and flat vocals that ruin the first real contender for a decent sounding song. Take away the last three minutes of 'Mad Love' (preferably to destroy them) and you catch a glimpse of some real potential for this band. 'Child of the Sun' attempts a pseudo-symphonic approach that ruins what would otherwise be an interesting metal track, add on some awful tacked on electronic loops and you have a recipe for disaster.

'Buy, Sell' changes tack constantly from a SKINNY PUPPY-a-like intro to punky early 90's alt rock that almost works if not for the bad mix! ‘Black Knight' sounds like a low-fi and mid-tempo KOVENANT with someone doing a very bad TARJA TURUNEN impression over it. 'Princess and Demon' just goes for out and out symphonic with the cheap sounding piano voice, full on operatic vocals, echoing drums, and the occasional big guitar interlude - the kind of song that must have flooded record labels all over Europe when symphonic metal broke all those years ago. 'Terrarium' goes straight back to the heavy electronics that actually meld well with the rest of the instruments for once, but again the vocals are flat and inappropriate. 'Moscow' closes the album with what would be synth work befitting a decent EBM track over a decent enough rock track that blends better than a lot of the other tracks heard previously, but in it's attempt to be the big crowd participation number it falls short.
