Album review: Internet, Hive Mind

At first listening, the hive spirit of the Internet seemed a little dull; everything is at a very low level without obvious peaks or hollows.

But that's really the point – the cold is what these guys do best. You can not put Hive Mind in the background at work and hope to get the most out of it, you have to listen, you have to take a dip.

It's as sensual, sweet and filled with funk you'd expect, and as the group meets after a three-year break in pursuit of solo projects, it's clear that they've come back stronger and safer.

More specifically, Syd – while singing from a place of nostalgia and desire – came back with much more bluster, boasting of: "I could catch your wife as if it were nothing for me. "

And in a way, she can sing simple notions like the love of puppies,"

While many songs speak of love and desire, Syd said the group wanted to use Hive Mind to "live by the example and promote camaraderie among young blacks. People "- from where the name, probably.

To this end, It Gets Better is a way to stand out as Syd – along the spirit of the spoken language poet Big Rube – uses the Online viral campaign language for LGBT + youth to send a wider message of hope and support, reminding listeners that they have the strength to overcome adversity.

Song breaking up on the surface, preaching a message to accept the love you deserve and nothing less.

Around all of this, there are optimistic funk figures (Roll and La Di Da), foggy numbers and dreamers (Wanna Be, Hold On), slow and sensuous jams (Mood, Stay the Night) and much more …

Unfortunately, the original problem is still there: people do not want to be there. do not always have time to sit down with an album like this., we just feel like it's missing something .this is too easy to put on and then forget about r, and there is too much art here to waste it on background music.
