Awolnation is the solo project of Aaron Bruno, formerly of Under the Influence of Giants and Hometown Hero. Aaron has stated that his artist influences are Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, The Beatles, punk bands like Refuse and hip hop artist like NWA and Public Enemy. This is evident on Awolnation debut album Megalithic Symphony released on March 15, 2011. After a week of listening to the album I can hear and feel his influence coming out on the different tracks, As each one jumping genre blending synths, rock, punk, hip hop and r&b. His experimental sound keeps you interested as you hearing each song, and shows that he has more than a single sound of high energy synth rock.
This is evident in Soul Wars which starts out with a catchy beat and punkish shouting that blends well with his tempo down singing. Jump on my Shoulders is a popish song full of synths and hooks that make you want to dance, a song capible of getting any one in a better mood. Burn it Down has a gospel feel to it and to much surprise works well smack in the middle of the album as break from the other genre. Guilty Filthy Soul has to be one of my favorite songs from Megalithic Symphony, with its r&b sound and beat with a nice blend of vocal reverbs and hard sounding bass riffs. Sail has a great sound to it a much slower song on the album but still grabs you and take on on a harmonic ride, rich in beats and eloquent use of synths.
Over all I have nothing bad to say about this album, every songs flows with each other on this genre hopping ride. Not much artist has as much passion and energy going in to each song to form a well put album. A great change from what is currently out and artist that seam to hone to a single sound. I am really excited to see where Awolnation goes in the future, I have to give this album my first FIVE STARS.
