Download tyranny7/5/2023 ![]() With the cinematic, slow groove of "Sacrifice" leading things off - a wonderful, threatening start, heightened by compressed orchestral samples and the heavy echo and low whispers of de Meyer and 23 - the group collectively pour it on for "Rhythm of Time," a great, charging single. The high points of Tyranny, though, are stunners. Front 242 shouldn't be sounding like uninspired imitators who have only the one idea, but more than once songs like "Trigger 2" seem to be just that. Where it falls apart is the relentless one-note nature of the experience, with only the occasional variety in the beats per minute on tracks. ![]() It's just not quite as spot-for-spot successful as Front by Front, though technically the group sound even more comfortable with sampling and the art of atmospherics. ![]() As a major label debut, Tyranny (For You) shows no sign of compromise for greater airplay - it's Front 242 straight up, powerful, pounding, and following its own muse. What should have been an amped-up consolidation of the group's considerable strengths, coming off the blazingly brilliant Front by Front album, instead was a sometimes successful but sometimes repetitive effort.
