Intro5pect - 2007 Realpolitik!


Band : Intro5pect
Album : Realpolitik!
Release Year : 2007
Genre : Punk / Electronic / Experimental
 
Tracklist:
01. the war at home
02. opressing you
03. crooked lies (make baby jesus cry)
04. for blood under god
05. no compromises
06. nazi white trash
07. goodbye goodnight

This 2007 EP came four years after Intro5pect’s debut full-length from A-F Records. With such a long wait between releases, it’s a shame that this EP is 12 minutes shorter than their previous endeavor. Regardless, this package has some solid tunes to be heard. Intro5pect’s reputation of mixing A-F brand punk rock with electronica and synth is by now widely known in the punk community and also widely loved. Since their first full-length, the band has developed quite a following. I had hoped for a few imitation bands to pop up by now, but I’ve yet to come across any that do it well.  
Overall, this is another solid effort from the only band that blends punk rock and electronica in a masterful way, but this isn’t the near-classic album that was their 2004 release. Here’s hoping that Intro5pect’s 2009 EP is more on par with their earlier material than their later.
