Bloodwire’s Transformation, is a mixture of computerized instrumental sounds and a sultry female voice.
“Boardwater” is a slow song with synthesizers and a singer who sounds a little like Dido.
Maybe it is because of the music behind her that makes me think that. She is telling someone to “stay with me.”
“Absence” begins with a strong back beat. It is slow and then picks up the pace with drums as well as symphonic sounds.
“Overdue” is more techno then the others.
This song is so much more traditional in the sense of popular music compared to the other songs on this album that are more unconventional with both its singing and backing of beats and rhythms.
“Caving In” is extremely slow and I can’t think of a time when someone would want to listen to such a slow song.
The song is also depressing as the vocalist sings, “my heart is caving in.”
“Hallway” has many interesting sounds that keep the listener intrigued although the singer sounds like she could use some sort of pick-me-up.
“Relinquish” is appealing for its computerized record scratching sounds.
But still, the singer is not happy and it’s just not doing it for me.
However, it picks up some with computerized drums and guitar and the singer starts to almost yell.
This sound reminds me of Evanescence
“Was the Day” is another soft and slow song, although in this one, the singer puts more effort into making her voice sound pleasant and not like she is completely depressed.
“Spring to Life” includes some computerized steel drum sounds that definitely have an appealing feel to it.
“Accusations” is an angry but soft song, which almost makes it paradoxical. She is blaming someone as well as herself.
“Remains” has a bass background, which is different from all of the other songs.
The singer goes back to sounding sad as she speaks about someone she is still in love with.
I wouldn’t recommend this CD to anyone unless they want to become depressed in 45 minutes.
There are some interesting computerized sounds, but the tone of the entire album could pull a person’s mood down.
