SOCIEDAD ENFERMA

Good album, but maybe the vocals must be put more on the foreground.

At core, this is some good quality extreme metal, but it is damaged a little by repetition and punk influences. I also tend to prefer happy metal, but this review focuses on its merit as angry metal.

Some thought has gone into its composition, but this is diluted with padding and repetition; this damages the structure and overall impression while making the pleasure less dense; shortening it would let me move onto another album and ther are a lot on Jamendo.

In places, I find that punk-like riffs also detract from the emotive value and break the impression with bursts of mediocrity.

The vocals are powerful and emotive and yet seem distant; increasing volume may help to use their potential. The main guitarist is competant and there is a good amount of emotive melody in there. These are accompanied by tense, aggressive rhythm guitar and drums with character, which are used effectively to add aggression and speed in interesting ways.

The musicians and composer show talent and potential; pruning the repetition might unleash the album's character.

Thanks for the album :)

Las canciones me han gustado bastante, en especial "Sociedad Enferma" y "Nuevo Amanecer". El disco por lo general es muy bueno completo, una mezcla de Punk con Metal o viceversa. Las voces son bastante melodicas, con esto me refiero que NO son gritos incomprensibles. De verdad que se merecen ser escuchados, y en lo personal, espero poder escuchar mas de "ARAI" en el futuro.

Just the first song is enough to download all the album...

This is some good metal. It could be better, but it really is fun to listen to. There is some real energy in the drums and guitar. The singer manages not to ruin the experience like many metal vocalists, but he doesn't add much to the musical experience either. Though I can't understand a word he sings, it would be nice if he sounded more passionate about it.

Overall, The combination of good metal with decent vocals makes for a good listening experience.
