St. Albans' heavy metal ravers, Enter Shikari make a point with the release of their third album, 'A Flash Flood of Colour' on the 16th of January. Since the debut of 'Take to the Skies' in 2007, the band has experimented with their sound adding electronic elements to the post-hardcore.
The newest album uses more dubstep and more of Roughton "Rou" Reynolds rough manchunian rapping and occasional deep screams. The lyrics are much more anti-political on the album in songs 'Arguing with Thermometors' and 'Ghandi Mate, Ghandi'. This seems to be a similar themes on recent rock genre albums as 'Punk & Poetry' by The King Blues uses the same messages.
With the release of the music video for 'Arguing with Thermometors' that uses the news as a narrative to show we shouldn't believe what were told in a comic style, I suggest we watch this space.
Overall, the album is an interesting listen that makes you want to dance around in the moshpit and smash up instruments. "But what happens when it's all gone, you haven't thought this through, have you boys?"
7/10
