"You know what's funny is that while I listen to quite a bit of underground music I never really felt that it was very necessary to flaunt it & then bash more popular artists to draw attention to others. Still, Sour's lone album, "Exactly What You Think It Is" is overdue for a review, and sadly, since very few people even know about it, has only one review before this.



The group combines industrial, electronic, pop, new wave, and stuff that's in between. It's also a bit punk-ish in its execution. The record is done in half an hour and honestly I'm not concerned with lyrical depth on this. Instead, the record is so sexy and intense that it's hard not to enjoy. The singer is female, and while the music is agressive, she only sparingly really sounds that angry to me. Not really a bad thing to me. Some of it's more structured, but I like when the weird synths come in, like the intro of "Misery."



The record is not well-known as it's from a low-distributed record label and this music was basically extent from music trend maps in its 2003 bow (contrary to this site, their official site mentioned it as having had been released in Feb. of '03). That being said, if you like some nice music for long nights then I recommend this record to you. And lastly I don't care if it doesn't "truly" do it like others; it's usually not the sole reason why I'm into a record anyway."
