Advantages: A strong album bridging the divide between Hardcore Punk and Hard Techno Disadvantages: Album contains a lot of screaming
Enter Shikari have enjoyed a great deal of success this year and they have no one to thank for that other than themselves. I truly respect the band for the way they have achieved everything off of their own backs, and really made a success of themselves without the need for major label backing. It is a testament to the changing state of the music industry nowadays that bands are able to do this and it truly is a great thing to see. 'Take To The Skies' ...

A WINNER! Review ofTake To The Skies - Enter Shikariby
JoshJackson101
Advantages: Mind blowing revolutionary sounds. Dazzleing Lyrics. Disadvantages: May be too much of a difference for some people.
The post-hardcore phenomenon, Enter Shikari, from St Albans, with their unique combination of synthesizer, guitar and powerful vocals, in 2007 took the teenage 'hardcore listener' world by storm. This band have given a whole new meaning to the average 'Gig', and turned it into a heart pumping two hour party, that leaves the audience buzzing and needing more. With the spectacle of glow sticks and finger lights, it isn't much short of a modern 'Rave'.
After ...

Advantages: Exciting new blend of trance-rock Disadvantages: some commercial "crowd pleaser" tracks
No doubt the pinnacle of Enter Shikari's perviously increasing carreer. I really enjoyed the increased use of trance/synth backing along with completely new tracks put alongside old time favourites.
I Was also a big fan of the whole "interlude" track idea, where some of the more main songs would be introduced with a shortened instrumental track to build up the effect.
However i do feel that this previously up-and-coming group has fallen victim ...

I absolutely love this album. No matter how many times you listen to it there is always something extra you pick up on. It has to be said, however, that the songs on this album have been enhanced somewhat from what they were originally a couple of years ago. Personally i like the new synth effect they have used in their songs but I can imagine that this may not be everyone's cup of tea. The songs have lost some of their "rough-and-ready" quality BUT ...

No Sweat guys :D Review ofTake To The Skies - Enter Shikariby
cRaZeD15
Advantages: Fresh, new sound Disadvantages: there aren't any
...have a very unique sound. Take To The Skies is a brilliant first record that can get anyone hooked onto their music. The techno beat crossed with the drums, bass and electric guitar form a great mix. Their lyrics are reflect the music and take the band to a whole new level of originality. When I first listened to the album I was confused as to why there were so many interludes but after several times of listening they began to make sense - they help ...

Advantages: New, and different, sounds amazing. Disadvantages: If you don't like shouting, it's not for you.
Enter Shikari - Well, where do I start? Well the band formed in 2003 and are from St. Albans city. In my opinion, this band is amazing, how they mix trance with metal / rock is amazing, and the weird thing is, they actually make it go together really well. Their music is a mixture of music, some songs start off with the trance / dance kind of music, then the heavy guitar and bass come in with varying lyrics between shouting and singing.
Enter ...
