With all the excellent press about the new Haujobb album I was expecting a
ground breaking change of style and new programming method, and instead I found
a poorly mastered and derivative album in it's place. Ultimately the mastering
problems on this disc can't be attributed to the band itself, but surely the
borrowed styles and concepts can be. Upon the completion of several close
listens, one can distinctly pick out several popular electronic genres of music
making the round in Europe, including drum & bass, jungle, and house. However
don't get me wrong, not the entirety of the album is completely derivative and
consisting of rehashed. Yet enough of it is to make the album lack the punch of
previous releases. In any event, Haujobb still remains a few steps ahead of the
competition even if they did seem to lose ground with this album.
