Reviews & Discussion
At first i was not really a fan of "head automatica", or the style of music for that matter; when "decadence" was first released in 2004 i thought it was just another group of electronic rock hombres trying to score a quick buck and afterwards the band would sink. Then came the release of smash 2006 album "popaganda" which blew me away. I think compared to their first album the music was stronger, more thought had been put into it and it was generally a better album than it's predecessor. I find it a damn shame the band split and i hope the best for the guys in the future.
