So Borgore released his new album last week Borgore's Misadventures In Dubstep and it's had a mixed reception from well nearly everyone. As this is my first album review I just thought I'd do: overview, what I like, what I dislike, rating. Keep it simple and to the point.
OK so a general overview, well this album is bass heavy as you'd expect from Borgore there is nothing subtle here and fans are deep, grizzly bass will be all over this release. It's 16 tracks long, yes its a long album, however make no mistake, its not all Borgore, in fact, out of the 16 I think only 3 of the tracks are actually Borgore's, the rest are filled with tracks from: xKore, Tomba, Document One, Mojo, High Rankin and a couple of others. So to this this is Borgore's album is a bit of a cop out really, but all the tracks are in his style.
What I like: I like how Borgore just doesn't change, no matter what people say and although I'd like to see him try something new, as the saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it and what Borgore churns out certainly ain't broke. Tomba contributes with some really good tracks on this one of my favourites being "Kneeyan". The news leaked today that he will be hanging up his err...decks? and returning to his metal roots. We all wish him the best with whatever he goes into. Document One also come in with some real storming tracks such as "Tears". Thrown in the mix for good measure is also "Moving Together" which is a rel classic.
What I don't like: Well as I said earlier to call this Borgore's album is unfair on the other artists who contribute the majority of the album. When you look at those artists the other thing that strikes you is that they are all very similar, which leaves the album sounding similar throughout, whereas just a track or two with a slight difference would break it up nicely.
Rating: 7/10
A solid release from all involves, just nothing really new. Borgore's fans will just love it cause its him all over. Till next time, enjoy!
