Battles - Mirrored

Genre - Indie, Electronic

Synopsis - I came across this album called Mirrored on Metacritic. This album had made its way into the Best of 2007 charts, as per their critics. Now take it from me, its nothing like you will imagine of this album until you hear this. Its a mixture of keyboard effects, the kind your young cousin would have made when he first got his hands on a keyboard or a small piano. Of course, Battles have included some rhythmic sounds and drumming in the background. Well there are hardly any vocals (other than few intermittent voices in the song Bad Traits) in this whole album. Its just sounds, electronic and MC. I felt fooled after getting this album !! Well, true they aren't my kind of music anyway, but all those who felt they always had an answer to some of life's weirdest makings, should hear to these tracks and then ask themselves whether they have an answer now !! As a person who is adventurous in trying out different genres, I recommend all to give this a try, anyway; but at the same time, it is also an avoidable for the faint hearted, who might question. " how the hell did this album make into the Best of 2007" !!

Ambience - Doesn't matter, you ll get to know !

Favourite Tracks - Personally, I didn't like this album.

Rating - 3.0/10
