Rated 3/5
Review by plaidzebra Jan 30, 2005 (edited over 7 years ago)
"Apples and Synthesizers" was one of my greatest disappointments in 2004, due to the unfortunate addition of weak, grating processed vocals and frequently sub-par lyrics, a dearth of new material, and fewer of the sweet melodies of previous releases. The exceptions are "My Radio" (fine vocals, good lyrics and stunning music) and "For You," both of which have been released already in two different versions apiece (not counting remixes). I'm glad the album was well received, but for me the extraordinary quality of earlier releases is not matched on "Apples and Synthesizers."
Rated 5/5

One of my top picks for 2004. I don't understand why it's only half new material, but when it's this good it's hard to complain. All the songs on this album are classic electro/synth pop with shades of experimental tendencies. It makes for more proof of Solvent's excellent talent to mix heartfelt melodies with head nodding rythmic structures. This album shows Solvent moving one more step away from bedroom experimentation and toward the path of mature songwriting, which seems to be an excellant road for him to take.
