TidalImpulsive Disturbance Greasy Pop/MGM Unless you've been living under a rock for the past three years, Tidal should require little introduction here in Adelaide. With the group gaining respect within the local heavy rock/metal scene for their fast-paced infectious music and visually impressive ultraviolet light performances, it was hardly a gamble to predict that big things were in the near future. Now, after the successful release of their first, aptly named CD-EP 'Ultraviolet' and performing at this years Big Day Out, the group are prepared to transcend public expectations with the release of their full-length 'Impulsive Disturbance.' From the opening In Vein to the memorable coda of Saviour, this release is ten tracks of solid riffs, elegantly constructed melodies and up-beat tunes that are sure to be drumming around in your head hours after you've stopped listening to it. In comparison to 'Ultraviolet', it's clear that Tidal have developed the technical side of song construction, not to mention experimenting a lot more with vocal range and style, incorporating a nice contrast of rock, hip-hop, metal, and clean singing which adds a very attractive lustre to this release. Tidal have an uncanny knack in keeping the catchiness in just about all of their songs, particularly in my personal favourites Mother and The Shadowz. If you liked their first EP release, then 'Impulsive Disturbance' is a must-have: it definitely goes beyond anything which you may have heard or ever anticipated from the group. This is one of those unique recordings which can be listened to repeatedly without ever becoming boring or tiresome and will definitely compliment any CD collection.  |
