[It] is most definitely the next level in terms of dynamics, production, and sound I am here to tell you that this is the Chrome that we have loved for years – Songs like Slave Planet Institution, and Lipstick contain that Psychedelic Spacepunk that is a trademark of Chrome Anne Dromeda adds an extra dimension to the songs, as she has a beautiful voice when she is singing, as well as a sinister edge when she brings the darkness. Chrome are as hungry as the newest band out there, and as relevant as ever!. The Mind, possesses traits of the classic Chrome Acid-Punk sound with its hypnotizing electronics, and piercing guitar lines and lyrics Prophecy...streamed early on as a tease, through the ChromePledgeMusic crowd funding campaign… is a good representation of the album, with spooky machined vocals, Psych-Punk guitar blasts and electronic ambient undertones there are 16 songs on this album-which is more music than most bands put out on a standard album, and I loved each and every one of them. None of them sound alike ...trippy and ethereal…Something in the Cloud, which fittingly clocks in at 4:20 (wink wink). Unbreakable Fluoride Lithium Plastic (Best song title EVER!), a dark and ominous song replete with spoken word vocals over an experimental/Avant-Garde soundscape. Big Brats stomps in like a bully, sounding like a cross between AC/DC and Ultravox- Brady the ChickenBoy, a short blast of weirdness and noise...is obvious that Helios is having some fun while recording, because he is clearly laughing during this song, and that made me smile. more electronic, ethereal and danceable. Cyberchondria...brings the trance-like dark ambient aspects of Chrome, offering mesmerizing synth lines while the many layers of spaced out guitars are traveling in different directions, pulling your mind into fragmented pieces as you try to take it all in. Then suddenly it all converges, leaving you with the sensation of being on an elevator that has stopped abruptly, after free-falling from 50 stories at high-speed. Then HimalayanElimination clanks its way into the set via an Experimental/Industrial assault that hints at Throbbing Gristle, a contemporary of early Chrome The last song, Nymph Droid is a dark Ambient piece that is almost soothing , bringing you down from the emotional ride like a musical decompression chamber that offers a gentle, metallic kiss on the forehead, enveloping you in an electronic hug... I can see this album influencing the next generation of impostors, much like the Chrome of the 80s...The only difference, I believe, will be that Chrome won’t be left in the dustbin, while others move up the food chain based on what they appropriated from the band’s vast catalog. No, I don’t think so....Feel it Like a Scientist will be THE Chrome album that will finally break through to at least a small portion of the masses. There is essentially no one making music like this today. No One No band is more authentic than...Chrome. thugbrarianreview.wordpress/2014/07/29/thugbrarian-set-list-chromefeel-it-like-a-scientist/
