User Album Review
Technology is new, it's risky, it's a breath of fresh air that could only follow the months of weird promotion that lead to it. Compared to 2015's Automatic, Technology is a much more diverse beast. Of course it's still mainly rock, but tracks like 'Porkies' are almost crossover attempts with the synth beats opening the number. Rock is still what they do best, with 'Everybody' being one of the best they've ever released.
Technology isn't so much a cohesive album, more one made up of unique moments. 'Pretty' use self-aware samples, 'Porkies' gets political, and 'Good Listeners' leaves you listening to Damiani talking about having chilli con carne for tea with his mother. It's bizarre and wonderful.
On a 14-track album, you'd expect to have a couple of songs feel a bit 'filler-y'; 'Got To Be You' is a little dull and simplistic, maybe it wouldn't feel such if it wasn't surrounded by other ambitious tracks. One 'dud' out of 14 isn't bad going at all. A couple of other tracks do feel a little bit safe, 'The Blues', to name one. Again, maybe it wouldn't feel safe if not on an ambitious and large record, but it isn't the comedown you want when listening to some of the best tunes Broco have ever produced. It's much harder to decide on a standout track than one that maybe isn't so great - that's a very good sign of a good album.
