Our Take

Inertia's latest offering, "No Defect," is a bit like trying to find your keys in the dark - frustrating, disorienting, and ultimately unsatisfying. The album opens with a cacophony of disjointed sounds that seem to clash rather than coalesce, leaving the listener feeling like they've stumbled into a busy intersection during rush hour.

The band's signature blend of indie rock and experimental electro-pop is on full display here, but unfortunately, it falls flat more often than it soars. Tracks like "Static" and "Hollow" meander aimlessly, lacking the infectious hooks and tight songwriting that made Inertia a force to be reckoned with in the past.

Lead singer Theo's vocals, while undeniably unique, often veer into the realm of grating, with his falsetto screeches and off-kilter delivery leaving much to be desired. The production, too, feels muddled and unfocused, with layers upon layers of synth and percussion burying any glimpses of brilliance that may have been lurking beneath the surface.

That's not to say that "No Defect" is without its merits. Tracks like "Drift" and "Reverie" offer glimmers of the band's former glory, with catchy melodies and pulsating rhythms that hint at Inertia's potential. But overall, the album is weighed down by its own inertia, unable to break free from the confines of its own self-indulgence.

In the end, "No Defect" is a jumbled mess of ideas that never quite coalesce into something greater than the sum of its parts. While die-hard fans may find moments to cherish, for the rest of us, it's simply a forgettable blip on the radar of an otherwise illustrious career.
