Editorial Reviews
Album Description
They built themselves up from the grass roots, then took to the skies. Now British sensations ENTER SHIKARI are flying further than ever before - all the way to BIG DAY OUT 2008, plus special solo side shows also happening in Sydney Melbourne and Brisbane. Hardcore and trance? Punk and jungle? Strobe lights and human pyramids? That's the ENTER SHIKARI arsenal. This beautifully re-packaged album adds a bonus DVD to the mix which captures the band LIVE in action and at their at their most powerful screamo-trance energetic best - complete with maniacal breakdowns and eye-rolling synths.
Customer Reviews
FINALLY, SOMETHING ORIGINAL!!!
The current music scene is really different then it used to be. A lot of the bands are changing their style to a more mainstream screamo. This is not the case for Enter Shikari. They combine brutal screams with crazy techno beats and synths. Take to the Skies really stands out cause it's still harder-core, yet still out of the ordinary. The only band I can really compare them too is Sky Eats Airplane's EP. Basically, this album is worth it (whatever it may be). What I find really... odd, is that this cd made me want to have a brutal hardcore headbanging rave. Yup, it's that awesome.
great first cd!
this fusion of techno and hardcore is great! this band only got better with their second cd, but their first cd has some winners as well! check it out for sure!
A great find for an indie music listener
It seems most people randomly encounter this band, as did I. And whilst I dont think this is a 5 star album in the way of flawless records, in the scope of amazon's rating scale it is worth the 5 stars to get your attention.
The key to this album is melody. Its full of gorgeous melodies wrapped in electronica/rock/punk sounds. Its amazingly different to anything Ive heard before, the synth electronica could be something at a rave party but it manages to ground the music with earthly vocals that are catchy to sing along with. These guys are heavy but not in a pretentious way. They channel some real emotions here, specially for a band who is messing around with heavy metal\rave subject matter which usually deals with more self indulgent angst.
Honestly I think this album went way under the radar because it doesnt belong to any particular genre.(outside of UK).
