Awesome follow-up to the debut on many levels, most notably in the development and changes in their style despite the fact that the first was well-received. Some really unique ideas at work here with outstanding tranks such as Logdrum, Micromachines, Genki Shank and Europa. I'm already a big fan of their sound but this has so many surprises for new and old listeners alike.

After the full-on assault of their first album, it was inevitable that the Second Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank should see the Irish instrumental rockers take the tempo down a notch. Clearly inspired by their travels in Japan over the past couple of years, Adebisi Shank have added greater depth and subtlety to their sound, a trait immediately apparent in ebullient opener ‘International Dreambeat’ and the carnival-like atmosphere of ‘Masa’ and ‘Genki Shank.’ The (almost) mindless noodling that made the First Album such a thrilling listen remains, but overall the Second Album is a more melodic and ultimately more balanced album.

adebisi shank's a band that hasn't gotten the attention they've deserved over their last 3 releases and this is by far the most overlooked one of them all. their second LP's got this quirky habit of sounding absolutely ridiculous (think japanese video game music crossed with galloping horses in bizarre math rock patterns) while still being incredibly alluring and serious about the quality of their musicianship. this really sounds to try to appeal to the bizarre combination of fan of newer battles' material and people who weren't down with tera melos' last LP. it definately rivals the former and makes up for the unjustified hype of the latter.

Took a while to get used to the new album over the old one, I feel like it lost a lot of its shred-factor, which I still miss...but the album has a lot to offer after a few listens. I love the punchy bass line in the intro for Century City.
