It's synthpop... It's a little more rock oriented than their previous albums, hence the album cover. But if anyone knows anything about Apop's previous albums they'd know that Apop likes to make each album have a distinct sound to it. Take Harmonizer and You and Me Against the World for example. Two completely different sounds.
Perhaps the best song off the Rocket album, they need to stay more dark wave... this style suits them so well, but truly it's a damn fine track. I reckon that Shadow will remain a sweet tune, regardless. <3
This is one of the strongest tracks on rocket science, I got to sit and talk with STP in Chicago, I support the genre change, but got to talk with him about you band wagon people.
I actually kind of dig this track - has an almost Depeche Mode feel to it. Any opinions on what the rest of the record sounds like? My favorite APB record is Harmonizer.
WTF IS THIS SHIT?! god damn this really crushes me. they changed far too drastically. what happened to their good stuff? like eclipse? starsign? electronic warfare? deep red? They are turning in to pop mainstream garbage. :'(
I completely agree with you on this one. As much as I support groups changing things up..this was just too much of a change for the worst. Their time when making those songs (especially Kathy's Song) was their high point.
@Turglith wut are u talkin about even if they changed there isnt a single band that sounds like them...they still got the edge and this album feels really more atmospheric and 80's disko music so I dont knwo wut ur talkin about
you know, at first I thought the same thing when I heard their new album. It took a bit to get use to it but now I LOVE the album. Especially after seeing them live recently wow. Still love apop
they've always been changing. They're just trying all different sounds, that's all. I honestly think they couldn't go wrong. They always make good stuff. I love their old songs and the new ones. STP is a genius

@llamallamallamas they are still APOP and there isnt a band that sounds like them.. they still got the electronics in their music ..just because its not EBM or industrial doesnt meant its not good..I can bet u they will go back to their old stuff on the next album or at least close to harmonizer..bands always do this they get bored from writing same things and same sound all the time.
They are going for a more pop-orientated sound, but I enjoyed this song...actually I really like it. I might just find a copy of Rocket Science and buy it :)
One of my favorite Songs of the Album "Rocket Science". It has a fantastic Retro-Flair. I Love the Album, the sound of Apop is always new. And some of the lyrics are great! "Pleased to meet you, we came to drop bombs on you..." Funny, intelligent and ironic :-)
I agree completely. People should focus more on the music itself, because I think it's still beautiful and meaningful. And Apop shouldn't be judged for breaking genres, they should be praised.
I really like it I enjoy every second of it

How in the fuck can anyone consider this "pop"? Anyway, best song off of Rocket Science, no debate.

best lines in the lyrics, the chorus:
"...for way too long
I've been merely a shadow
of my true self
I'm in despair
I'm beyond repair"
and yes i think the best track in this album, my favorite at least.

The new album is perfect. If you don't like the new APB sound, go back to 1995 with the rest of the EBM relics that have yet to move on.
