Very rarely is a band’s unique sonic character defined by a single effect but honestly, all songwriting and execution aside, there isn’t much that is wholly distinctive about the group insofar as sounds are concerned. The beats aren’t revolutionary and could very well have come from any can of prefab loops. The synth sounds are fairly generic and not treated in any inventive new way. The album itself is fairly quiet by today’s standards, perhaps attributable to a Swedish mastering job.
Ouch.
