Betraying the Martyrs
\nThe Resilient
\n<\/i>(Sumerian Records)
\n4.5\/5<\/p>\n

Paris-based deathcore band Betraying the Martyrs\u2019 third full-length, The Resilient<\/i>, is fierce and electrifying.<\/p>\n

Riddles of political statements find their place in the lyrics while beckoning an intense emotion within the listener that wills them to listen further. Lyrically, the album is profound; the instrumentation is astounding, weaving it all together perfectly.<\/p>\n

My personal favourite song is \u201cThe Great Disillusion,\u201d with its heart-wrenching lyrics that are pumped with adrenaline through the poignant vocals. Another favourite is \u201cLost for Words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, some songs, such as \u201cUnregistered,\u201d lack a diverse vocal range. This shortcoming in variety can be seen in a few other tracks as well, but overall the album makes up for it.<\/p>\n

The Resilient<\/i> is undoubtedly worth a listen, although a few parts felt slightly repetitive. Regardless, I highly recommend this album to those who wish to listen to provocative music.<\/p>\n

Le Trouble
\nMaking Matters Worse
\n<\/i>(Indica Records)
\n3\/5<\/p>\n

Making Matters Worse<\/i> is the first full-length album from Montreal-based pop band Le Trouble. I didn\u2019t expect much as I began listening to the first song on the album, \u201cHow Was I to Know,\u201d as it takes a long time for the lead singer to kick in, something I didn\u2019t like very much. But I was surprised by the later songs, especially \u201cWhat Do You Want from Me,\u201d which has a unique pop sound. \u201cAnywhere but Here\u201d and \u201cFistful of Glitter\u201d had awesome beats as they started.<\/p>\n

Making Matters Worse<\/i> is a pop album, but I can hear some rock and indie influences as well. The songs generally have a head-bobbing groove, but they do start to sound similar after a while. Although the vocals didn\u2019t have much range and are slightly out of key, <\/b>the fast beat <\/b>made up for it.<\/p>\n
