Porn - A Decade in Glitter and Danger

Porn might not be the first word that comes to my mind when I hear this industrial rock band. It feels more like Nine inch nails influenced music than porn. Okay, enough of bad jokes.

Porn is a French industrial rock/metal band and this is their fourth release called 'A Decade in Glitter and Danger'. It's a mix of slow and fast tracks with some really nice tracks. The voice range home high pitched to more typical Nine Inch Nails like vocals. I refer a lot to Nine Inch Nails because you can hear that's a big influence and in some ways it seems like they try to sound like them, or maybe it's just a coincidence.

My favorite tracks of this album are "Call Me", "Baby Smack" and "Stiff Little Things" three very different tracks. The first one is a cover with a nice drive and raspy vocals and the second one is a typical industrial rock track with high pitched vocals and a nice chorus that really takes you in. Last but not least we got a very slow track which is almost like a ballad, the only problem with that track is that the vocals are a bit too low.

This album isn't a bad one, but it's not the best in it's genre. The production is good enough and there are a few solid tracks, but it's not enough to suck me in. Apr 06 2010
