First off, I could think of more than one of my review who would just plain hate this and butcher it completely. And the thing is; I would tend to agree with them.
This is one confusing release from Italian Cyber Cross.
There is little direction in what they're doing to be honest. If there's one
unifier for the 10 tracks of 'Mega Trip' then it's the fact that...there are
apparently no rules. This is something I respect deeply. That's in many cases
when music becomes art rather than just business. However, art is not always
suitable for others than those who created it. In this case, we're almost in
that situation. The blend here is - you probably won't believe me, but it sounds
like a mixture of a metalcore band, Fields of the Nephilim, Rob Zombie and Grave
Digger. Plus other less definable kinds of rock and heavy metal. And it's not
always a happy marriage!
If you like albums that change direction and style all the way through, then, by
all means, do try this. I give Cyber Cross kudos for trying and for not being
(as far as I can hear) bad musicians. 'Mega Trip', however, is not an album that
will return to my disc player very often. Sorry guys.
