Pendulum (3)

threedeepson, Jan 04, 2009

Having read the two reviews previously posted here, maybe its by sheer coincidence that the positive review is based on the older Pendulum sound, and the less-than-cordial review of last year may be based on the newer Pendulum sound. Pendulum is not really drum and bass anymore, theres nothing really established to call them, as they do really have their own sound now. Some say its good, some say its complete toss. I personally like some of it, but wouldnt really include much of the newer stuff in a drum and bass set/mix. I would include some. That being said, Pendulum has done a lot for the drum and bass scene in a relatively short period of time, and for that, they have a fan in me, even if they have moved on from the scene they seemed so well to fit in... thats the part thats a shame for me, not that Pendulum changed/progressed their sound, but their refusal to take steps back sometimes. To those that "hate" Pendulum, just remember the first time you heard Vault or Spiral and how absolutely mindblowing it was at the time. Stop hating and just remember the good times if they dont do it for you anymore. Good job on all your successes Pendulum, you deserve it. Seriously.
