I don't quite understand why everyone raves about Evil's Toy, when they
have taken
four albums, and numerous singles, to finally achieve a level of originality.
Apparently, people are content to pay hard earned cash for the poor :wumpscut:
and Haujobb knock-offs that are this bands back catalogue. Fortunately,
"Illusion" firmly sheds the tattered remains of Evil's Toy's previous cloning
efforts and
starts anew with an album that certainly speaks to me. I'm not sure if thick
string sections, crisp percussion, or the calculated sequencing are what make
this album stand out, but they certainly do not count against it. The vocals
are also very precise in their execution, bordering on Pop-like with
their tone and style. Thus makes a very accessible album for
Industrial and Electronica fans alike. As much as I am ashamed to say it, I
think some of the Synth-Pop elements also play a part in what makes "Illusion"
click. Evil's Toy decisively derives a hybrid electronic music style that
compliments their nature perfectly.
