The formula for synthesizers and hardcore is tricky. With so many groups spitting out the new synth sound, not many bands have mastered that secret. One group could release a record totally mastering the ability to incorporate keys, and then totally lose it on the next album. Take The Crown uses their keyboard sounds, wisely maintaining an almost effortless balance throughout the album. Before beginning the album, be aware that this record is very different than their previous release, Let the Games Begin. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though. The action and aggression on this disc is well produced.
Everything on this record seems carefully orchestrated, but some things seemed too clean for the album's overall rough sound. Beau Bokan, lead vocalist for the band, has the right tone when singing alone, but at times it seems too carefully set up. There isn’t much raspy-ness or rough tones in his voice and it may seem a bit too pop-like. He does sing beautifully, though. Anyone who isn’t too appreciative on screaming or growls but enjoy the rugged guitar melodies should definitely take a listen.
There’s a main focus and theme on this record in that Relapse React deals with taking burdens and losses and rising up to continue with the day. “Somewhere Waiting” is a compassionate ballad where the light melodies and the softly elongated vocals create a symphonic atmosphere. The repetition of the lyrics, “When you’ve lost it all, time will tell these stories,” and, “I won’t forget the night,” show the will to carry on, and you feel it when you hear it.
Don’t think that it’s all soft harmonies and sad, emotional lyrics. “La Resistance” is exactly what is says, a revolution. The song's core is in the confusion of the guitars and keyboard. Their loopy melody gives off a feeling of a struggle. If there is anything Take The Crown has enough of, it’s catchy chants. The ending of “La Resistance” is actually very climactic thanks to the chants of, “If you stand for nothing, then you’ll fall for everything.”
The beauty behind the album lies in the ability to sound soft and melodic or loud and choppy with a flip of the next track button. Relapse React is a simple album with plenty of key components. For a debut album, Take The Crown has their work cut out for them. With plenty of touring time and band upgrades which come with their experience, I expect their sophomore record to contain more energy than what is on this album. With a bit more aggression in the vocals and some more advanced guitar work, this band could easily gain a lot more fans.
