Reviews & Discussion
Apoptygma Berzerk work can be divided in two. His first period, with the his two first album (Soli Deo Gloria and 7) are really oriented in a ebm, industrial way, really more dark than his later release. Their second period start with Welcome to Earth, which is oriented in a totally different direction than their earlier work. Their second period is very more "poppy", really different than their earlier release. The first period is alot more dark, in a industrial way, while the second period is more commercial, much more oriented to pop. In my opinion, APB earlier work are the best, but thats just a personal taste, and the latest album are still very good. Just in a different way than the two first.
"7" and "Welcome to Earth" are his best works. But if you had to get one albums, get 7. Apop doesn't really fit into just one category (EBM/Synthpop/Futurepop/Darkwave); they're/he's probably one of the few artists doing their/his own thing and not being DM wannabes. They're great live.
