Nero originate from London, and have just recently signed to MTA Records (owned by Chase & Status) - this makes perfect sense as their sound could easily be compared to that of Chase & Status. Not that I am comparing them, as I think most would agree that C&S are on a whole other level. It's awesome to see so many UK artists doing their thing and demanding the attention they deserve.
On to the album, overall I was pleased. However, I will say one thing - it's a little bit samey. Don't get me wrong, there are some huge stand out tracks which will blow your mind, but there's also a fair few that will go forgotten. My personal preferences on the album are 'Innocence', 'Guilt' and the crazy-good remix of Justice's 'Stress', 'Angst'. When 'Angst' first started playing I was a little annoyed to be honest, 'who the hell are these guys to be mucking around with Justice?!', but fair play to them because the track is easily on a par with the original, dare I say it - maybe better.
The album has a good blend of dubstep, drum & bass and house, some of the tracks have a particularly mainstream sound to them, which at first I hated - but ended up accepting. The album is well worth a listen, as there are some awesome tracks on it, but just expect it to go missing in between them a little.
I'd give the album 7/10. Have you checked it out? What are your thoughts on it?
