Impressive debut

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Infectious synthpop from a talented duo on the A Different Drum label. Each and every song on Native Anger impresses me. Beats and hooks on this album often border on aggressive and at times even EBM-esque. Not much fluff here! Most tracks follow the formula of building up slowly to a climatic chorus. Stand-out tracks include "Balance of Minds" and the somber "Midnight Son." If I had to choose some other bands to compare The Nine to, I'd have difficulties. They are one of the more unique synthpop acts today, vocals- and music-wise, even on this debut. Give it a chance."
