As someone who probably listens to more death metal than electronic music, the description made this album seem like an odd mesh of the two - this piqued my interest.
I streamed the first track and it absolutely blew me away. There was so much energy packed into it - momentum, power, and a good (maybe a bit too distorted) growl. It was like when I listened to the beginning of Obituary's "Slowly We Rot" all over again - I was really feeling it, and I just couldn't wait to listen to the second track.
Well... it sounded quite a bit like the first one. The same beat, similar structure, familar textures... but it still had alot of energy.
Then the third track hit. Same drum beat (which is a tad bit too high in the mix). Same tempo. Same sounds. Turns out the whole album pretty much seems like one long song with nine little breaks in between. There are a few tracks which are somewhat different (over da wall or the outro), but these are marginal differences at best. The lack of variety hurts this album alot.
Which is a real shame. There are many excellent aspects that I can point to. It's got a very distinct style (as far as I know) that I really dig and I still do like this album... but it's hard to really recommend the whole thing. I hope Life.Renegade.'s other efforts are a bit more daring, because I'll be sure to listen.
