Anyone who says Oi Oi Oi is better than Power may possibly have lost their mind, and anyone who says Boys Noize is better than the Bloody Beetroots has definitely lost their mind. Bbs is fuckin incredible. Better than Justice too. Yep… I said it

Very good and thorough review. very well written. I only listened to Jeffer and felt exactly what you're describing here: an evolution towards melodic plays more than beat, WHICH IS GREAT! Every time I read about a new Dj/producer “breaking” out, I allow myself the benefit of doubt. The same in the case of Boyz Noize 2 years ago. But to be very very honest, in these 2 years I've gotten to admire and truly respect the dude. He rocks, he puts out original sound constantly and he keeps it independent. Hats of for Alex Ridha!

Oi Oi Oi was definitely more ground breaking and was filled with more exciting tracks, but this is still good. Gax, Jeffer, Kontact Me, and Sweet Light are some really good songs and the others are still ok enough to buy. I would pick this album up if I were you.

the way each artist puts songs together and the extremely varied differences in sounds and samples makes a huge difference in my opinion, didn't mean to rage in any way.

I explained how they're similar in my post? I didn't say they were the same.

Instead of just responding with ambiguous outrage, why don't you explain how they aren't similar? Because Pandora, LastFM, wikipedia all put them in the same genre spheres and those bands all end up being reviewed on the same type of websites catering to fans of their genre. (I.e. This site.)

Where did I say I like the Bloody Beetroots? I just drew the comparison. Perhaps therein lies my disappointment…

If you can't place the “abrasiveness” or industrial tone, maybe you should go back and listen to a lot more electronic music before you postulate on it's similarities to BB or MSTRKRFT. Not only is this album thoroughly a product of Alex's German electronica roots (especially the middle third), but he is also exponentially more of a true sound engineer than the Italian Beetroots, who make what are essentially shallow, noisy pop songs for electro heads. And MSTRKRFT? Come on, haha.

how can you compare the bbs, mstrkrft, and boys noize as if they're all the same? haha, THIS IS MADNESS!

the whole lp sounded ok to me, he needs to drop another oioioi.

Luis, you're killing me!

Everything form this album reeks of a Bloody Beetroots knock-off without the celebratory trance-beats or an angry, instrumental interpretation of MSTRKRFT. I know they're the same genre-sphere so some similarities should be expected, but if feels like it's been done better elsewhere.

There's just a kind of abrasiveness to far too many of the songs. (Probably the industrial tone.)

"Heart Attack" is pretty dreamy though.

I'm quite surprised after reading this review, in a positive way! After I've listened to the promo-album of Power, made my own opinion of it, and then read this interview. And I couldn't agree with it any more! It does feel more mature, whilst keeping it's headbanging tunes
DEFINITELY will buy a copy for my own!
8.5/10

Good stuff! I'm gonna miss the voices telling me that the album is the promotional copy of Power, lol. I think I've listened to the album TOO much

Good album review, it basically sums up my feelings of Power. It's a good listen, but I'm sure I won't be going back to it that often. Other than for my weekend party mixes.

Good review. I liked Oi Oi Oi more, but this album is holding up extremely well.
