“Labyrinth” was an interesting song with the more post-hardcore feel to it. This song was not nearly as techno as the others. The keyboards were more of an 80’s sound, which I felt worked well. The screaming, along with the singing, was not too overbearing.

“Today Won’t Go Down In History” was a shocker. After being used to hearing all the commotion and chaos, suddenly a softer slower track snuck in. This was more of a ballad that was actually really interesting to listen to. Following the song was another interlude, continuing the calm feel.

Then came “Return To Energizer,” a heavy, loud hardcore track that starts out strong and seems to sag in the middle. I just felt they should have made this song completely insane from start to finish and skipped the soft stuff.

The final track on the CD, “OK, Time For Plan B,” was a good song as well. I liked the Comeback Kid-meets-Darude feel to it. As I listened to it I thought I had heard it before and then realized some of it was used in the video game Madden NFL 08. 

You will like this CD or absolutely hate it. I myself liked it and found it to be very unique with the mixture of sounds in it. I am highly curious to see what Enter Shikari sounds like live. There is just so much going on and I am not sure how the foursome would be able to pull it off.

Having won awards — for being distinctive and for being the worst band — is a great accomplishment for a band that has only put out one CD. They are gaining exceptional amounts of attention and have the potential to be the next big thing. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next. If you are a fan of hardcore, and once upon a time ago were into the rave scene, then Enter Shikari is the band for you.
