Punk*Statik*Paranoia*
is yet another stellar release from the band who brilliantly combines
electronic grooves and no-holds-barred alternative rock. One could
be tempted to lump Orgy
in with the Korn's of the world, but their style is very appealing
because it is so different. This CD is no exception. The cutting
lyrics on tracks like Inside My Head and Leave Me Out
incorporate soul searching in the sometimes misleading and untrusting
world of today.
Over the years the band
has raised the bar on pushing elements of electronica with brain
crushing guitars and drums, along with strong melodies. The equation
has served the group well thus far. The intensity on this album
doesn't loose momentum between tracks. Obvious is a prime
example of this killer equation at work, blending the underlying
melody with lyrics about growing up, growing older and growing wiser
about life as a whole. The guitar line combined with electronica
adds another intriguing layer to the song. Orgy has by far perfected
the art of layering sounds and melodic textures to songs, in a way
in which I have yet to hear anyone successfully achieve with the
same level of experience and savvy.
