Rated 4/5
Review by scoundrel Apr 08, 2008
Bent's fourth album, INTERCEPT!, kicks off with what seems like a traditional track for them: upbeat, peppy, with just a little bit of cheekiness. But "To Be Loved" shows this album going in a decidedly different direction, blending Bent's electronica with more of a rock element. "Tired of the Show" brings this to the forefront particularly -- lots of guitar strumming and glam attitude -- while "Waiting for You" edges into electroclash territory but transitions halfway into more of a deep house tip. The rock energy of those tracks make for an jarring contrast to the more delicate tracks elsewhere: the ambient "As Seen from Space" or the dreamy "Breakfast at 80,000 ft." "The Handbrake" manages to blend the two sides of this album together, but I'd still take Rachel Foster's welcome return with the delicate "Stay Out All Night." And it really wouldn't be Bent without a reimagining of a bizarre little song: here, Anne Murray's "Just Bidin' My Time" becomes the peppy "Leavin' Me." A curious little album: certainly not the Bent boys' best work, but not without considerable charm, either.
