Loud Solutions album ThrowBack is ok musically but I think their aesthetic needs work. Honestly as for
the album art I would have rather seen something original my five year old drew rather than this… No
offense to EMKADE but I don’t know anyone using stuff like this since bands like Macintosh Plus used
them on tracks like LISA FRANK 420/MODERN COMPUTER. I can definitely see cyberpunk 2077
here and so I have to criticize it in that it is just blatantly un-original. As for their music, they aren't bad
musicians; Chilean group Loud Solution just seems a little mass produced to me. I’m at peace with this
though, and their cheesy 80’s rock hair metal sound which sounds like a Def Leppard and Motley
Crue meets Cyberpunk themed cover band.
The Intro track “These TImes” I can appreciate that I can at least understand what they are actually
saying lyrically and it helps me through my morning workouts. Track number two “Face to Face” was
actually a really solid Heavy Metal track The vocals by singer Boris Seeder seem to really come out
here nicely. The Cyberpunk-Esque characters in their youtube video are cool… I guess I am just a
sucker for the cyberpunk aesthetic. This doesn’t by any means make it original though. Track three
“Amid my heart” was a beautiful and well composed love ballad but I’m not sure if this song really
qualifies as Metal. The true metal fan is going to be really bored by songs like this.
The fourth song on the album “not provided” is definitely another early 80’s hair metal throwback no
pun intended. Moving on to the fifth song “Love and Faith” I am really just at a loss for words, what
can i say though it's another “throwback”. “City of Pride” I am not sure what this is a reference to the
record label of proud Lion records? I can relate to this though as a proud Trans Woman, sometimes you
have to “lead your pride”. The guitar on the intro of track number seven “Time to say Goodbye” was
actually pretty good. I can’t help but chuckle when I listen to this because the title reminds me of the
song ‘time to say goodbye’ by Andrea Bocelli. As for the entire song. I really wasn’t very impressed but
their musicianship was halfway decent.
As for the album title track “ThrowBack” it really had me feeling like I could probably do a Goku sized
amount of pull ups and sit ups.
As for track number nine “Past Dark Nights” and track number ten “Don’t Come Back” it really seems
like it would be a good intro for a Netflix show like Stranger Things or something involving anything
which is an 80’s throwback.
