Midnight Juggernauts = "Dystopia" CD
The first full album from this trio.
It was my second acquisition. I bought their second album, which I loved. Out of curiosity I borrowed this one from the local library.
My initial impressions have not changed.... this album is not as good as their follow-ups. There is a bit too much dance club style "thump thump" here, which they have toned down and refined somewhat on their later releases. Still, this album has enough good songs to be enjoyable. The two slow tracks, "Dystopia" and "Aurora", are my favourites.
Tracks: (ratings out of 10)
Intro - 8 (but it's very short)
Ending of an Era - 4
Into the Galaxy - 9
Shadows - 8
Worlds Converged - 6
Dystopia - 9
Road to Recovery - 4
Scorpius - 3 (very short)
Twenty Thousand Leagues 6
Tombstone 8
Nine Lives 6
So Many Frequencies 7
Aurora 10
Worst track: Road to Recovery (I don't count Scorpius as it's so short)
Best track: Aurora
Overall rating: 7/10
