The entire first half of this album is totally synth pop and only towards the
later half of the release does the music even begin to change into plain
vanilla electro. As a result the entirety of the release is extremely
disjointed as the two musical styles clash and fight for dominance. When the
mood of the music swings back and forth like a pendulum from sugary sweet to
melancholy morose it makes for a extremely noncohesive album. The lyrics are
sung both in English and French and are performed by both brother and sister in
this sibling specific project. I prefer the French vocals because it adds a
little mystic to the music and spares us from having to listen to the cheesy
lyrical content that is so prevalent on most of the tracks. Restricted Area
definitely needs to decide if they want to be an synth-pop of electro project
quickly before they loose an audience in either genre from the horrible mixture
of the two styles present on this album.
