Manti
Dark Obsession

Anthimos Manti a man who likes playing the guitar is the guy behind the project that has is last name, a project with many musicians like five vocalists and many other things. Kind of a greyish cover art on this album that was released in April this year, and this is all I really know about this band who’s new album is called Dark Obsession – maybe it is about the obsession of certain music reviewers or of the guitarist called Manti.

Keep on Falling to Holding Hands is where this album is going, and it is musically a pop-rock album for the masses. I think one can expect an album with many musicians and singers to have a little wider variation of songs than what we get on this album – I could not really deduce any of this when listening to the album, well I could but it wasn’t overly obvious. Decent sound and performances, I think that it is an album that is easy to take in and inoffensive enough to suit a very wide audience considering that they don’t really do anything adventurous with it.

Are you one of those faceless people in the wide masses whose only purpose in life is to post crap to social media? If the answer to that question is yes or something resembling that, then this an album that will be good for you. It is pretty good but also rather grey, it has nothing that really stands out – nothing exciting really. It works but I cannot say that I am very impressed by what I hear and when the album ends I don’t really remember much of it – it is like that faceless crowd of people one tend to meet in regular workplaces and other places, probably alright but nothing you want to hang out with in the longer run.

I think it is surprisingly bland, it doesn’t really get anywhere interesting. Sure it is well made and you can sure listen to it and I am certainly sure that the faceless masses will find this album perfectly suitable for their tastes, but it is creatively uninteresting. Manti makes a decent album with this Dark Obsession, but it isn’t really dark enough or obsessive enough to be considered great.
