In Silico - Pendulum > Reviews

Advantages: Something different, memorable tunes, great live
Disadvantages: None...

...clearly used more tangible instruments in the creation of this great album. As a drum and bass album I don't rate it at all as few of the tracks could ever pass for DnB, however as an experimental rock style I put it way up there. I was lucky enough to see the band play this album live, and some of their performances were epic. "Propane Nightmares" - what a tune, with enough of a tune to appeal to hardcore DnB fans, but lyrics to make it ... Read review

pendulum's second album- in silico is all the greatness of the first album but in some aspects is better. although there are less tracks on this album, the tracks contain for vocals, aswell as great background music and beat. especially as pendulum are becoming a 'fashion statement' i think they are more than that. their music could keep you entertained for hours upon hours. i recommend you buy the album, great value for money and great sounds.

Advantages: Original, POUNDING BASS
Disadvantages: naff lyrics!

...dry and generally meaningless but in this type of music you expect that. To describe it is a Prodigy for the next generation is fair i think and this album really is a classic already. The general feel of the tracks is similar, with one or two exceptions, the receipe being an acoustic start, heavy build up and powerful, low frequency repetitive and catchy taglines. Since i've owned it, It's been on loop in my car CD player wowing my friends with ... Read review

I advise no one to buy this album. Pendulum were once a good drum &bass band, now this new music is crap. It's not drum &bass more electro rock with a voice synthesizer in nearly every track which has ruined it. In my opinion now they have became to far comercialised, with breaking up from breakbeat kaos was the biggest mistake they ever did and i think they will regret it once they have lost most of their original fans :(

Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: I'm now £9 poorer

...is the drum n bass in this album? Unless I'm mistaken, one of the tracks on here is guitar based and could be classed as a rock song. Nothing against rock but if I wanted a rock song I'd have bought one. Annoying synthesizer most of the way through, half hearted feeble bass line when there is one at all. Average easy going album, just don't buy this album if you are a hard drum n bass fan. You will be very disappointed. It is a shame that Pendulum ... Read review

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

this is some of the best drum and bass out there. however, it is not pendulum's best material. the best song on this album is granite. i would definitely recommend this to electronic and drum and bass fans but not so much to the techno fans. pendulum is amazing though, they have a truly addictive sound and every song is an extraordinary work of art, this album is an example of that. i recently went to one of their concerts and they are amazing live!! ...

Advantages: amazing sound with vocal and beat lines
Disadvantages: maybe a bit repetetive

...blow your mind. the sounds in this album are so fruity, amazing, voluptuos,thick,sexy,heavy. this album has defined electronic music with all the variation of the whole genre in one album. mind-blowing, powerful and exhilerating, this would make the perfect driving song for a VDo game.. oh wait.. it has. pendulum made one of their great debutes with their hit single being put into motorstorm and now motorstorm 2 is here, once again they host the title ...
