Our Take

Ah, A Certain Ratio, the masters of merging effortlessly cool post-punk with funky, dance-worthy beats. Their latest album "Force" is a triumphant return to form, showcasing the band's signature blend of genres and undeniable talent.

From the moment the opening track hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride. The infectious basslines, groovy synths, and hypnotic rhythms will have you bopping along in no time. It's impossible not to get swept up in the energy and passion that oozes from every track.

But what really sets A Certain Ratio apart is their ability to craft songs that are both fun and thought-provoking. "Force" tackles themes of love, loss, and resistance in a way that feels surprisingly poignant yet undeniably catchy. It's a delicate balance that few bands can pull off, but A Certain Ratio make it look easy.

And let's not forget about the impressive musicianship on display here. The band members are virtuosos in their own right, weaving complex melodies and intricate rhythms together with ease. It's clear that they've honed their craft over the years, and it shows in every note they play.

In conclusion, "Force" is a must-listen for anyone craving a dose of funky, post-punk goodness. A Certain Ratio have once again proven that they are true legends in the music industry, and this album is a testament to their enduring talent and creativity. Don't sleep on this one, folks. It's a force to be reckoned with.

About the artist

A Certain Ratio

A Certain Ratio, the eccentric British post-punk band hailing from Manchester, have been thrilling audiences since the late 1970s with their unique blend of funk, soul, and jazz-infused grooves. Formed by Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Peter Terrell, the band quickly gained a reputation for their infectious energy and genre-defying sound. Their early albums, "To Each..." and "Sextet", showcased their experimental approach to music, incorporating elements of dub and electronic music that set them apart from their peers. With their funky basslines, jazzy horns, and hypnotic rhythms, A Certain Ratio swiftly became a favorite among the UK underground scene. Despite never achieving mainstream success, A Certain Ratio's influence can be heard in the work of bands like LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, and The Happy Mondays. Their groundbreaking live performances are legendary, with Kerr's frenetic bass playing and Terrell's charismatic stage presence captivating audiences around the world. Their latest album, "ACR Loco", released in 2020, sees the band continuing to push boundaries and experiment with new sonic textures. From the infectious grooves of "Always in Love" to the dreamy atmospherics of "Bouncy Bouncy", A Certain Ratio prove they still have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. With their fearless creativity and unwavering dedication to their craft, A Certain Ratio remain a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. So grab your dancing shoes, because this is one band you won't want to miss.
