Autovoice is certainly all over the place musically speaking with the release of
"A Living Death". Within the first three songs they have covered mourning
Gothic vocals, crushing Power Noise percussion, and melodic Synth-Pop. At times
such a diverse choice of musical elements can work to the advantage of the
band, but in the case of Autovoice, I think it is more of a detriment. I found
myself unable to follow the changes in tempo, mood, and styles from track to
track without wondering if I was listening to the same band. The engineering
and orchestration show signs of excellent skills on the part of the young trio,
but it simply isn't enough to detract from the obvious lack of cohesion
between tracks. Some of this could have been fixed with a better choice of
track order, starting with some of the slower songs and gradually moving
towards the faster material instead of the rapid tempo changes that exist.
Autovoice definitely have a few areas for improvement for future release, but
they are certainly headed in the right direction.
