Subtonix - Rip Your Heart Out

Review by Meu Bazar

Subtonix's album, Rip Your Heart Out, is a sonic journey that is both raw and intense. The band's unique blend of punk and electronica creates a sound that is wholly their own. The album opens with "Blackout," a frenetic track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The lyrics are biting and confrontational, calling out societal injustices and personal demons.

The album's standout track is "Ashtray Girl," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's range. The track builds slowly, with singer Soo Catwoman's vocals soaring over layers of synths and guitar. The lyrics are emotional and vulnerable, contrasting with the aggression of the other tracks.

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is on full display. The drumming is thunderous, the basslines are driving, and the synths are atmospheric. The production is gritty and raw, giving the album a sense of urgency and immediacy.

Summary by Meu Bazar

Rip Your Heart Out is a powerful album that showcases Subtonix's unique sound and vision. It's a must-listen for fans of punk and electronica, and anyone who appreciates music that is bold and unapologetic.
