Take To The Skies - Enter Shikari > Reviews

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 ... Read review

Advantages: amazing, get-up-and-dance songs
Disadvantages: none

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 ...

Amazing both live and on cd. with songs such as sorry your not and anything can happen in the next half hour enter shikari are going to make it bigger than a lot of bands in 2007.

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 ... Read review

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 ...
