6.Herbert The Pervert
7.Killing Time
8.Project 100

11.The Legend Of The Black Shawarma
12.The Doors - Riders On The Storm {IM RMX}
----------
{Sorry for the lame English}
1.Poquito Mas
------
Album starts with break-beat style track.. kinda Artilery from the Vicious Delicious album, but without hiphop singing and more hard rock style..
nice guitar intro til the bass sound cut it and the beat start.. "Im gonna push it until u gonna get it" these are the main lyrics here.
A vocoder melody, Simon style in 1:22 nice one.. some Duvdev's voices "digidadada do ratatat" till the break.. then hard guitar riffs with noisy psy melody .. lyrics are back now with more power till D end.
Nice opening for the album.. not really trance.
7.5/10
2.Sa'eed
-------
Sa'eed is trance track following by singing.. catchy one actually...
Starts with great intro and then some guitars riffs and effects till the lyrics part coming.
catchy chorus following by great great melody to my opinion.. this is the story of this track..
must say that I heard this track on IM shows and its well known that Duvdev does'nt have "angel voice" but it seem that they worked very hard on the album version vocal sound and the mix is just excellent !
8.3/10
3.End Of The Road
-------
The most minimalistic track here.. trance track with lyrics says "Sof A Derech" which is hebrew translation for 'end of the road'
I dont find anything interesting on this track.. IM are the melodys masters and track like this is a waste for me.. remind me the "Im The Supervisor" album style.
5/10
4.Smashing The Oponnent
------
The well known single that was release with few more remixes {J.viewz RMX is high recommended!!}
its actually a song on 4/4 beat .. the singer is Jonathan Davis {Korn}
I think its really nice track the only thing that bother me is that the chorus repeat itself too many times in the end.
7/10
5.Cant Stop
-------
Cant stop is again trance track with massive guitar riffs and voocder vocals on top..
great intro but have no connection to the rest of the track
vocals are not bad but I feel this track going nowhere..
6.5/10
6.Herbert The Pervert
--------
ok. this is 100% guitar track.. as Duvdev said recorded on thier studio with live drums..
it has some psy sounds and alot of noise but not bad at all !
7.5/10
7.Killing Time
------
Killnig time is a slowly song {"In front of me" style from the last album} singing by Perry Ferrell..
not much Infected touch in it.. but perfect production and touching voice from Perry.. beautiful !
this song should be out soon on a CD Single with Infected trance mix and Astrix rmx as well..
8.5/10
8.Project 100
------
ok time for the "instrumential" track of this album.. following Dancing with Kadafi/Stretched/Heavyweight
Like 'Heavyweight' this track have alot of guitars, with changes beat and add some infected old school melodys and sound and u get bombastic track 8.5/10
9.Franks
--------
Take the old school atmosphere from the last track put 145 BPM and u have 'Franks'
psytrance track that turn to 160 BPM just after the middle break and what a psycheldelic part is it !! strong track !
8.8/10
10.Slowly
------
Slowly is 130 BPM and the surprise of the album for me !
I was sure this gonna be the weak point of the album but no no no ..
alot of old infected spirit in it alot of synth lines and melodys .. really colorful track.. I dont remember something like that from Infected for years
9/10
11.The Legend Of The Black Shawarma
---------
Best intro of this album for sure.. weird sounds .. remind me video game or something like that.
soft kik base line with some of the intro sounds.. this part remind me the track Albibeno {Converthing Vegetarians CD}.. this cut when the guiatrs starts..
some of Duvdev's voices "dan digidan digi dan" hehe funny part.. Guitars continue till the break.. time for MC Duvdev lyrics part .. dark atmosphere.. but I like this.
synth is coming up and up nice lift and powrful entrance with the singing !! the mix of the synth line wwwwwow what a sound !! guitars line coming when the singing over.. and again what a sound mix of the guitars ! really really impressive!
8.5/10
12.The Doors - Riders On The Storm {IM RMX}
-------
4:30 min of great journey into the old Doors times with today's sound and Infected touch.. thats bring for me at least, A wonderfull remix. Again top prudaction.
8.5/10
Favorites - 2,7,8,9{!},10{!!},11,12
bottom line
-----
It seem that Infected have been read the reviews of Vicious Delicious album and done it this time 100 times better !
this album still has alot of guitars and vocals but Infected have used them smartly.
Also, it has some old Infected style like in the trax 'slowly' 'franks' 'project 100'
I will say that it is the best Infected album of thier new age.

listened to some tracks on youtube, got quite bored with the guitar solo's that sound like they come out of Top Gun, thought that was done with really bad taste actually.
but will get this album a better shot once i get it in hand.
i listened this album yesterday, heard there was some trancetracks with no vocals on it and gave it a chanse. And i like infected mushroom, have lots of respect for what they are doing but yea, the newer stuff is not my cup of tea with the singing and all. But anyway this album really was BAD imo. I couldnt find any good moments at all. I know they prefer beeing called something else then a psychedelic trance band or whatever, but the album contains few "psytrance tracks" and they pretty much sucks compared to lots of other stuff outhere. Its really nothing intressting innit (for me) i know they have a banging live act show and lots of fans digging this but its really nothing new and inspiring in this music. Im not dissapointed, it was exactly what i've expected, but im dissapointed that even the so called trancetracks are boring. I know they could have done them more banging.
they laid the foundation for the present day psy
but some bad drops of wisdom messed up their neurons
crack-head groopies pushed IM's ego to a high level just to keep their supplies coming
all said & done
but now they shud b BANNED from making any music,let alone entering the studio
i strongly request all psyheads out here not to buy this cd,just download em off the net,burn it into a cd and then BURN it. . . . . .

What is all this babble?
Listen illiterate cunt, IM have no obligation towards you and don't need your permission to produce any kind of music they want to. I don't think you are some noteworthy trend-setter to decide what genre an artist ought to produce next either. If you don't like it - great - you can voice your opinion, but don't request others NOT to buy music. Dunce.
PS - The music is horrid nonetheless.

After listening to the album i can say it's not only my cup of tea but in many ways is simply cheesy!!!!! Dudev's voice is not working for me (more important it's not working for him) not to mention the easy, empty lyrics. "Smashing the Opponent" is a Depeche Mode copy!!!!! The guitar abuse: it's not that there are using guitars it's the riffs they use!!!!
I'm not one of those who never forgive IM (whatever this means) but i dont find quality in their music nowadays in terms of intensity, originality and creativity!!!!
I Think DUDVEV decided get in to the mainstream
so thats the reason why "Infected Mushroom" changed his old beautiful style.
Erez Aizen is the brain of IM, "Duvdev Became INsane"
I hope Erez Aizen left Duvdev and release a solo album, with his great sound:
Downtempo, Ambient, Experimental, like Converting Vegetarians 2CD.
And a classic goa, melodic, experimental trance.
like Shiva Shidapu or Early days of InFecTed Mushroom.
DUVDEV... SUCKS

ok,
so I think IM are trash and I feel stupid even posting in this thread . . . BUT
8.3/10?!
What kind of rating system are you using?
This is why all point/star/merit/BS rating bullocks are crap.
8.3/10.
So Sa'eed wasn't worthy enough for an 8.5 or bad enough for an 8?
Seriously, this style of rating and judging is what dumbs-down music.
whhooh you had bad day or something ? take it easy bro
but not bad at all !
