Trance presets,

This review is from: Futureperfect (Audio CD)
I have a Virus, I think this guy is just using the presets and singing over top of them. In any case, this is essentially Trance music w/ goth vocals on top. Clever.

Disappointing,

This review is from: Futureperfect (Audio CD)
I love VNV Nation, but Futureperfect is totally inferior to Empires in almost every respect.Musically, it sounds almost forceless, bassless and flimsy. This is probably due to the fact that most of the album was made with soft-synths. Previous albums like Praise The Fallen and Empires had music that was far more emotive, made you want to raise your fists in defiance, or cry. Lyrically, however, it shows a more melancholic side to VNV Nation, however, this is the only respect in which it shines. You may ask as to why I gave this CD 3 stars instead of two or one. The reason is that VNV is still far better than any form of pop music, and the lyrics are wonderful, and there are two songs that are good (Epicentre and Fearless (Beloved is overrated and far to candy-coated). Overall, it is not an important purchase except for VNV Fans. If you are just getting into VNV Nation, buy "Empires" instead!

Absolutely Perfect,
By Clarissa "MoonGoddess" (Ontario, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Futureperfect (Audio CD)
If I could I wouldn't change a thing about this album! Although I'm quite a fanatic now 'Futureperfect' was my introduction to any kind of Industrial music. I downloaded "Beloved" from the Internet and the first time I heard that song I was positively floored! The words are somewhat melancholy but the bittersweet lyrics are interlaced with melodic EBM and passionate vocals by Ronan Harris and it is the best ballad I have yet to hear by any Industrial band. I tend to gravitate more toward female voxes but he's quickly become a preference of mine. In fact, just behind Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode he is my favorite male singer.A lot of people associate Industrial music as being repetitious with no emotion but I can assure you that not all groups in this genre sound remotely close to that description. There are many feelings to be felt in VNV Nation's music. 'Futureperfect' doesn't even start with any type of dance beat. Lush string orchestrations open on "Foreword" with a powerful message spoken in English, German and then French (or at least I think) before diving into a pounding rhythm. There are plenty of hits here destined for the Gothic club scene but they truly shine their brightest on their slower numbers. "Holding On", for example, is a moving song and one of their strongest deliveries with gorgeous synth lines and piano chords mingling in with the ever-changing cadence (tempo). Many beautiful instruments can actually be heard throughout the elaborate sequences of this album but whatever your inclination there's enough here to keep any Industrial fan entranced. From start to finish this record is a glorious triumph... There's no need for skipping tracks, that's for certain. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! {FYI: VNV stands for "Victory Not Vengeance"}
