Snyper - Bulletproof

Bulletproof =>

1=> We've got a big round & deaf bass with hacked brass lead the whole rocked in an hypnotic technoish background with some electrified metallic tones. It's not fully dance floor yet, rather sort of musical "aperitif" of what's coming next...The track matches perfectly its place at starting although if you listen to the album in a random order, it could appear less attractive than this way unless if you got it for the end ;) .

2=> Here comes a cyber groovy production, with fat bass & rhythmic, it's stomping not very fast but quite multi-layered, like a giant or a big monster devastating everything on its path. From 3"00, the melodic gets more twirling, like a ripost of a flying defensive team leaded by a superhero with floating abilities from everywhere against the enemy.

3=> We're keep here the stomping side, & i've got a major worry with the mix :(. I mean each outnumbered elements result at the same maximum high level all along, perfect to get quickly an headache...

4 => This tune is funky fresh style as hell & with his brass loop in the background is massively Haltya's alike confounding, excepting some transpose against which i've nothing wrong about.

5=> Despite obvious differences with previous track, it constitutes a nice following. The unique common point resulting as transposes use here in a dreamy, floating & morning progressive construction. I'm really enjoying the mix of the groovy tune married with this deep nebulous soundscapes.

6=> It's probably the most typical Suomisounding tune of the album with a raw fast entrance, indeed no really time for any kind of preparation you're directly thrown in the whirlwind. You got very few time to take a second breath as the tempo is so high, so be careful & avoid the asphyxia while dancing on it ! Ultra fast, hypnotic, catching & bewitching stuff, what is all about. Once it's finished for you dancing on it , it's like the things out of the washing machine, it's clean, but still wet :D

7=> Fat hypnotic Funky tune, with metallic tones. From 3"00, a big rumbling lead appears despite it's into an area flooded of sounds, your brain won't be able to concentrate elsewhere. Acting as a magnet on your neuron it's impressive, nevertheless i find out the whole thing to lack little ingredients (salt or pepper ? i don't really know what ...) to achieve a hit status.

8=> Change of ambiance here, it's about dark & mysterious atmosphere in rather mid-tempo mode, there's a strong feeling of a laborious progression of a hero in a hostile environment filled with bats. Definitely this track is story telling.

9=> I've got an astonishing skating feeling at first but quite fun at final. This one is rather nicely funky too with mewing sounds resulting an overall happy atmosphere. I have a regret about the kick-snare combo which cruelly lacks of variety , more exactly doesn't really match with the different emphasis of the tune as revealing all along the same linear part :( . Otherwise i like the school ringing alike tone used here along side with the traffic jam sirens.

Tracks 10 & 11 have in common not to fit my taste, both are into a psy-energic-linear-rush style and by the way are deeply lacking of a real soul.

12=> I retain mainly here the Marin scents & turmoil's feeling conferred by the hypnotic melodic & aquatic loops & bass line transpose uses coupled sometimes with filter. While maybe not aimed for this purpose, i consider this song quite effective for psy-chilling :)

Verdict => Astonishingly, what my brain remembers mainly is the duality between nearly 3 quarter of the album resulting of a normal high & low along the tunes but seriously produced & a quarter (Tracks 3,10,11) which sounds like lazy, swift stuffs for filling an album with a quality largely inferior either in ideas & production development.
Bulletproof results eclectic in his Suomisounding, sometimes reminds you about Haltya, other times could be more Squaremeat or Texas Faggot...
Otherwise i've also retain the nice story telling capacity of several tunes which constitutes the trademark of Snyper for this genre.

I'd advice to check in priority those tracks :1,4,5,6,8,9,12
