It’s been a rich week in terms of new releases already right from the start and of course that means it’s time to crank up the volume on our speakers to the max, pick  up our keyboards and let the dirty electronic music flow. And of course, with the Knife Party album finally being released after endless “leaks” we have to obviously expect this to be one of the most talked about releases, so we thought we’d have our say too. “Abandon Ship” LP was definitely a long awaited and highly anticipated release by most blogs, producers and fans alike but does it live up to the expectations? Allow us not to be entirely convinced for the time being and neither surprised really, since it was quite expected and the signs were all there for quite a while. Covering almost everything from pop to house and techno to finally some nice hard Electro which brings to mind the good old Knife Party, there is no doubt that “Abandon Ship” is definitely a release of very high production standards and also making sure that from a commercial perspective the whole “EDM” spectrum is covered. Whether that’s good or bad is up to everyone’s judgement of course so we’re not here to point any fingers. Still though, we can’t say we have enjoyed “Abandon Ship”, besides the 3 tracks we have picked out of the 12 in total to feature here. Call us closed minded if you like but when it comes to Electronic music we like it hard and loud, something that unfortunatelly came in very small doses in Knife Party’s new album. So, here are our favorite tracks out of the LP, check them out or have a listen to the full album if you prefer and decide whether to “abandon ship” or “stay onbard” yourselves.
