| Ill Nino - Revolution Revolucion Music Review
By RipperEagle
Rating: 4.7
New Jersey born but Spanish rooted sextet Ill Nino first appeared on Roadrunner Records in 2001 with “Revolution/Revolucion” (which of course the second is Spanish for the first word, duh!) The reason I choose to review this one as opposed to their two follow ups on RR and then their 4th record, released on Cement Records, is because this is easily the best, and they turned to more of a mainstream sound after this album. Ever wonder how brutal metal and pinches and doses of melody comes across in Spanish? Well, read on then.
1. God Save Us (5)
-Brutal and in your face: get used to the lovely and frightening vocal styling’s of Christian Machado!
2. If You Still Hate Me (5)
-More of the same, except it clocks in at 2:55.
3. Unreal (5)
-Not as brutal on your senses, but still a very strong number.
4. Nothing’s Clear (5)
-I rather enjoy the carnival sounding introduction!
5. What Comes Around (5)
-Song is slower in spurts, great musicianship over Machado shutting “shut up”.
6. Liar (5)
-Some acoustic strumming goes hand in hand with lethal blasting!
7. Rumba (5)
-Really nice introduction with the “Gods want something” bit.
8. Predisposed (5)
-More of the standard fare, chorus is catchy!
9. I Am Loco (5)
-Haunting sounds over the chorus, opens up over verse and bridges.
10. No Murder (4)
-This song is pretty good, although it sounds like filler compared to the stuff above.
11. Rip Out Your Eyes (4)
-Shortest song in the album @ 2:49: actually sounds a BIT under produced.
12. Revolution/Revolucion (5)
-Title track is absolutely killer!
13. With You (4)
-Throws you off completely: Latin acoustic, drums, and percussion number. | |
