User Album Review
Although Broken Machine is a familiar record of sorts (sonically, at least), there are a handful of avenues which the band have spent a little bit more time exploring. Title track Broken Machine experiments with looped vocal ad-libs and a lilting groove (the former accents the latter significantly), whereas the monstrous, Daily Mail-bashing Live Like Animals dabbles in electro-tinged riffs and a percussive chorus groove which could only be described as a happier Rammstein. It may take a few listens to come to that conclusion, but the similarities are definitely there if you listen closely. Both aforementioned tracks also allow Mason to explore the various wonders of his voice, with the latter track even incorporating some hip hop and spoke word outings. Despite the various elements which the band have experimented with on these two tracks, there’s still an air of familiarity which seems embedded within their songs. From Mason’s soaring choruses to gritty riffs and astounding rhythms, there really is no denying that this is Nothing But Thieves at their best.
