Album Review

Enter Shikari – Wall (remix)

• 25th Oct 2009

The Londoners Enter Shikari are back with the 3rd single of their second studio album ‘Common Dreads’ the name of this single is wall (remix). I feel these guys have tried to go for something a little different with this single, as previous singles have sounded very chaotic with a lot of emphasis on the electro and metalcore genre.

This single starts with a slow synth melody and focusing more on Roughton Reynolds singing vocals. Then the song does build up with the guitar and drums coming through and by the chorus has kicked in quite a bit and the singing has turned into shouting but I feel it never really gets up to that almost disordered frenzy of music they are well known for. Saying that it is usually nice to have something different from a band every once in a while as it stops the predictability of what the next single is going to be like. I also still think that the fans will love this as they still have something to move around to.
