Last year the release of "Junior " was partly disappointed, partly crowded out because of his character unabashedly pop, dance and fun. And although he was immediately told that he then had a darker counterpart, the disappointment was hard for many. That party mature, "Senior " has arrived.
While in theory what the fans wanted the Royksopp album just does not disappoint. The care put into their work is usually almost completely absent, the limit of recycled sounds, the atmospheres only touched upon.
The first track, "The Forest And Began To Sing," promises great, but for some reason is only a brief intro that leaves no little bitterness in the mouth.
Although it is fun to follow the decomposition and reconstruction developed by the Norwegian duo of the piece already appeared in Junior, "Tricky Two " tires quickly and rarely comes to the end of his passes and 7 minutes.
Finally the third track we find some satisfaction: "The Alcohlic " drag sweetly on a cool summer drink. The sound gets progressively more lame, distorted, filtered from cans of beer uncorked at the beginning of the piece.
" Senior Living" is melancholy in the right place, but it certainly leaves no sign, as well as the trip is negligible bland "The Drug .
The only other gem of the album is "The Fear ", although that is certainly one of the best pieces composed by Royksopp, it is worrying to the right point.
The last two tracks are quite skippabili two outro (then why two?) Useless in a crescendo of boredom and sleep.
missed opportunity then, and even later is re-evaluating who is aged Junior (staying young, fresh, pleasant and listenable) without doubt the best of his counterpart's old title and deed.
RATING: 5
