Customer Reviews:

few real good songs! a few pretty good songs, a few ok songs.......2001-07-10

welcome to the 21st century, everybody loves u, alien@ation and alien christ are really good. the rest are ok/not so good. they're style has changed to fit the newer style of electronic music. slower beats, lyrics that flow into each other (not like flaunt it with random words that happen to rhyme), it's a matured sound but under-produced. if you're a sputfan get it, you'll like enough of it.

NINE INCH SPUTNIK.......2001-05-20

Sigue Sigue Sputnik are back with their first new album in 13 years.
And yes, their songs still all sound alike, but now they have a different sound.

Now consisting of only three of their original members--Tony james, Martin Degville and Neal Whitmore--
the New Sputnik has a harsher, more industrial sound. They now sound like a cross between the Old Sputnik and Nine Inch Nails.
Less playful and more aggressive.

The Old Sputnik trademarks are still there: Electronic Drum Machines, Digital Keyboards, Sampled Voices, Computerized Effects,
and plenty of Electric Guitar solos. And Martin Degville's vocals are still processed through countless Digital Effects.
This CD is a virtual orgy of Electricity.

The songs could, however, have benefited from some chord changes.
While the Old Sputnik style was based on a classic "3-Chord-Rock-n-Roll" format, the New Sputnik style
seems to favor a "One-Chord Industrial" format: very few chord changes, no key changes.
Some songe contain only one single melody, repeated over and over... The result is rather mind-numbing after a while,
and the sheer repetitiveness causes most of the songs to seem longer than they really are.

Still, the album is lively and energetic and occasionally spectacular
(like the opening song "Welcome to the 21st Century"),
though there's nothing quite as stunning as "Atari Baby" from their first album.
(This CD could have benefited from a couple ethereal ballads to soften the tone of the album.)

PIRATESPACE is not a bad CD at all, but it is a very different CD...
