Our Take

Album title: BEYOND THE PALE
Artist: Consensus

Consensus's latest offering, BEYOND THE PALE, is a mixed bag of musical experiments that will leave you scratching your head in both delight and confusion. The album kicks off with a cacophony of distorted guitars and frantic drumming, setting the tone for what can only be described as a rollercoaster ride of sonic thrills and spills.

Tracks like "Electric Dreams" and "Neon Nightmare" showcase Consensus's penchant for blending retro synth sounds with modern production techniques, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. However, this futuristic vibe is often undercut by the band's tendency to veer off into meandering instrumental passages that feel more like filler than substance.

The standout track on the album is undoubtedly "Lost in the Mist," which combines haunting vocal harmonies with a driving rhythm section to create a sense of unease that is both captivating and unsettling. Unfortunately, this sense of unease is not always maintained throughout the album, with some tracks feeling more like afterthoughts than fully realised compositions.

Overall, BEYOND THE PALE is a bold and ambitious offering from Consensus, showcasing their willingness to push the boundaries of their sound. While not every experiment pays off, the moments of brilliance scattered throughout the album make it a worthwhile listen for fans of avant-garde music. Just be prepared to be taken on a wild ride that may leave you feeling a little dizzy.
