Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0782388049023 Label: Metropolis Records Manufacturer: Metropolis Records MPN: 80490 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Metropolis Records Release Date: April 10, 2007 Studio: Metropolis Records Editorial Review: Album Description: VNV Nation's last album, Matter and Form (2005), was hailed by critics for its high-impact array of tone and sound, from hard hitting anthems to euphoric symphonies. In April 2007, the band is poised to release its next album, Judgement, which promises to be their most powerful and unique release to date. Having already broken the boundaries between industrial and other alternative music styles on Matter and Form, VNV Nation take this idea to new heights by creating a sound that is a collision of ever present insight, energy, emotion, past and future. From its fast pace, pounding bass-line and melody to its electric-guitar like synth sounds and Ronan Harris's thought provoking vocals, "Nemesis" rings through as one of VNV's most aggressive anthems to date. "Testament," which could be described as an electronic-indie anthem, "The Farthest Star" and "Carry You" provide a bright, hopeful outlook, while "Movement" presents a dark trance flavor to the band's ever expanding repertoire of song possibilities. The omniscient "Descent" sweeps in with dark electronic rhythms and lyrics that describe complete devastation, giving the yin to the yang of the ethereal ballad "Secluded Spaces" that makes you feel like nothing in the world could be more beautiful. With every album, VNV Nation manages to tear down more and more musical boundaries. Judgement will be their greatest achievement thus far. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Could Be Worse.Not as impressive as previous vnv albums but overall a good record nonetheless. I wouldn't put the entire album on repeat but theres some good songs that make it worthwhile. Rating:  - Failure,flatline, and with lots of whineI dunno what to say to VNV. The have let down true EBM clubbers for sometime now. I don't hear much from them in the club scene either. If any songs get played from this yester-year wonder, It's from Pre-Futureperfect era of VNV. I find the Judgement CD whiney and overdone. Maybe VNV needs some cheese with its whine now? I've been active in the EBM scene for over 12+ years now and still wonder how a great band like this turned so bad? Seriously pass on this CD. I highly doubt you will hear ...

Rating: - Fantastic and Brilliant !This was quite inspiring,I had given up almost all hope in music when this cd crossed my path. You simply must buy this if you want to hear the future of electronic pop music. it seems that Mr. Harris has again outdone himself, from the indie dance (almost rocking) "Farthest Star" to the beautiful ballad of "illusion" this cd will make you want to get up and dance then sit down to cry. There are a few drawbacks here(seeing as how I have moved passed the whole Goth/dark wave/spoken word of "descent" ... Read More Rating: - Laughable for VNVSo this is what goes for VNV these days? there are a few good songs on this album, but it just doesnt go THERE. I'm not just against this album because its not "old" VNV, i am a fan of Matter and Form, which after a couple of listenings gets to you. This album however is lyrically depressing, and not 'good' depressing, but dissapointingly depressing. Ronan seems to have run out of inspiration on this one, almost like he knows what will work and just pounds it out of a cookie cutter. musically it ... Read More |
