Maybe it is something in the drinking water but something seems to be lacking
on this album and I can't quite exactly place it. The mix between guitar and
the electronics is well within the guitar industrial genre, the lyrics hook the
listener in, but something seems to be lacking. Perhaps it is the fact that
Violence & Hate has hidden itself amongst the rest of the guitar industrial
bands and by not have a distinctive unique style they sound rote and
repetitive. The sheer number of crossover bands that have hit the music market
within the past year has been phenomenal and as they all try and jockeying for
listenership and a distinct sound more often than not many of them fall flat on
their back in defeat. I think that this band might be able to avoid that
circumstance if they can find some definite stylistic sound to grasp onto and
not let go. However, this album definite does not have anything that remotely
that resembles that uniqueness. Maybe given more time this might occur but
until then we can only wait, watch and listen.
