Review:

I have to admit, that after listening to 'End of The World Party', I was concerned. Sure, the melodies were better, but the unclean vocals were nearly non-existent; leading to an overdose of Devin Oliver and his earsplitting clean vocal stylings. I probably shouldn't be so hard on him; he's a talented singer however one better enjoyed in small portions. On the other hand, the unclean vocals have always been well executed and I really enjoy the heavier side of I See Stars. In this respect, 'Digital Renegade' does not disappoint. This is without a doubt their heaviest record to date and with thundering drums, frenzied keys and explosive guitar work, this album grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. Track highlights include the feel good 'NTZ48' and the fast and furious 'Filth Friends Unite'. The cheeky dance beats are still present as well as the upbeat breakdowns, but underneath this band is beginning to show a more mature side, showcasing a darker sound and more politically charged lyrics. I See Stars are pissed off at things and they want you to know about it.
