Uber Cool Kung Fu hits your audio needs with this ten song album that spins out a song to song electronic industrial pop sound with aspects of punk and metal for a beat that has nightclub atmospheric appeal. All songs are under five minutes and the album is less than 40 mins total. This ' 3 ' set of songs flows well from song to song and may very well be a popular sideline album with those that prefer an all out punk or metal album. The opening song 'Feel Nothing' kicks out a quick paced assault to grab the listener and sets the mood for the entire album. An easy flow of snappy hook lyrics can be found within most of the songs. A well recorded album with a killer radio cut in the song 'Hollywood Kills'. Yet, one may well find many of the other songs more in tune with the flow of blood in your veins. With 'Letting Go' there is a darker edged night flow. The song 'Killing Game' has a finger snapping sway to do do do your night away with friends. One will find a more so heavy beat with the song 'The Slow Grind'. The album closes out with the softer flowing 'Down'. The album does create a room filled with the energy that one may compare to other efforts to blend industrial pop with aspects of metal and punk. If you were to play this album while walking through a museum of art, the old paintings of the masters may come to life with a pop culture beat. Some may wish they could overrule gravity and take some dance moves along the ceiling and four walls. With the many days and nights that reach out for a music fix, there is a time slot for metal, punk, pop and the sound that is U*C*K*F.
A pop album that could make your world a better place.

Impressions : A pulsation of pop industrial techno rock with a beat for the ears and the feet within the light of day and night.

Rating : Four beats to set your techno night pulse in tune.
