CD Review: Martian Colony - Trajectory - Page 2

"105" is the strongest song on Trajectory. Though it contains over used catch phrases, "Got a swagger that would make a grown man cry," for example, it's delivered with that strong dance beat that is thematic to the CD. The melodic background vocals are original enough to make up for the "been there done that" which is present in the rhyming rap.

"Upside Yer Head" is another strong track and more original then the others. With this one, it is the rhymes that are unique. The beat is more subtle and it's not so much the strong club dance number. It is, in fact, an example of what is strongly lacking on the CD, creativity.

If you looking for music that is layered and rich, intricate and unique, or if you're favorite hip-hop music is violent and contains overly sexual lyrics, then Martin Colony's Trajectory is not the CD for you. But if you're looking for a fun, danceable mix of hip-hop rhyme and well delivered pleasant-sounding hooks backed with electronic music, you will probably enjoy this CD.
