You probably know this feeling: you listen to a CD by an unknown band, you don't like it, and it ends up in the corner. Weeks later, you want to write the overdue review, and suddenly the music sounds much better! That's how I feel right now about the 9-track, or rather 16-minute short mini-album by the Kiel hardcore band POWER.
I understand why I initially didn't like the Holzbeiner, uh, Holsteiner; I hardly like any band that screams or shrieks into the microphone. However, upon the second listen, it turned out that there is also normal 'reasonable' singing. I missed this on the first listen. The further you get towards the end of the album, the better it gets; it's awesome hardcore sound! After the third or fourth listen, I like this extended play more and more.
Now, let me get to the design of the CD. And it blows me away L The inlay (back cover) is just about acceptable, but the CD label and the print on the CD make me feel nauseous, and the booklet finally tips the scales; the booklet is just unacceptable. The overall package is anything but eye-catching; it simply looks cheap and terrible...
That's why there are only 6 points.
