Although I haven’t heard the album in all….but still reviewing what’s available on the site :-
Firstly, the name of the band – ‘SEPTIC’ the name is a very well thought one and matches perfectly with the band’s blend of songs. It encrypts in it the pain of an unhealed wound whose screams are not heard by any lived soul. The band’s first album ‘INJECTED’ is again very well named and contains three songs – ‘Filth Of Fate’, ‘Alive’ and ‘I Feel So Small’. Actually the idea of namely there first upbringing as ‘INJECTED’ is quite interesting (just think on bio-scientific lines…If you go to a doc with a ‘SEPTIC’ wound, the first thing you expect is to be ‘INJECTED’).X
Review of songs (in ascending order of rating points)
1) Filth Of Fate – The starting is really cool with awesome bass and drums combo. But as soon as the vocals, drums shade away and seriously could have been better. The vocals score in between (esp. when that “aai aai” comes…very well sung). It’s a fast paced song but unfortunately drums in the song (apart of the starting) aren’t that good, which u’ll expect after listening to the first 15 sec. Well you expect that after hearing these type of songs, some energy is pumped into u, but unfortunately I didn’t feel anything like that. But do look out for the starting of the song….terrific bass!!
Rating – 7/10 (so-so)
2) I Feel So Small – ‘Soothing feel’ is what you get once you hear it. Melody of the song is very sweet and composition is very nicely done. If I am forced to find a loophole in the song…again the ears points to drums…but then I am forced too. The USP of the song lies in the last line of every stanza “Yet I Feel So Small”…very true and sung class-apart.
Rating – 8/10 (worth it)
3) Alive – For me this song is Septic’s masterpiece. While I was hearing it for the first time, I extended the song and the first words I heard was “….Alive; for u”…and immediately my thoughts went to “U know its true; everything I do, I do it for u”…So Far So Good…Bryan Adams…what a comparison first up!! Alive is a low paced number and well written. The lyrics perfectly match the ‘Septic’ theme of the band. Well! since just 2 min for Alive is provided on the site, I reserve my rest of reviewing for future wishing the band ‘SEPTIC’ all the healing wishes from my side..lol
Rating – 8.5/10 (you won’t be disappointed if u store this one on our mobile…as I have…with a hope that the full songs will be available soon)...CHEERS
