I donΓΓé¼Γäót know if the title "Wrath" fits but the lyrics are dark and bitter. The music though, is still smooth, melodic synthpop. This time with guitars, however, which works well some of the time. But on many tracks the guitars sadly take away the electronic precision and warm sound of the last album, that I liked so much, making "Wrath" radio pop, too streamlined for its own good.

Unfortunately, the song writing isnΓΓé¼Γäót quite up to par this time around either. At first listens, ΓΓé¼┼ôWrathΓΓé¼┬¥ was a big disappointment, but upon repeated listening, it has grown. Especially the first half. ItΓΓé¼Γäós not in the same league as ΓΓé¼┼ôAwakeningΓΓé¼┬¥, but itΓΓé¼Γäós still a good pop album, although the hits arenΓΓé¼Γäót as obvious. ReaganΓΓé¼Γäós voice is still great and fits the music perfectly, and AndrewΓΓé¼Γäós synthesizers are always skillfully programmed, itΓΓé¼Γäós just that the result is a bit ΓΓé¼┼ôflatΓΓé¼┬¥. ItΓΓé¼Γäós also too sugary for many, I bet. But such things donΓΓé¼Γäót bother me.
