 The wonderful male voice from the first two CDs was replaced by a female voice that failed to captivate me.

 'Ferrum' is a completely instrumental piece that allows me to reminisce a bit about the Mechanimal of old.

This review examines Mechanimal's 2016 album Delta Pi Delta, noting a significant shift from dark, raw sounds to a cleaner, more commercial production. The replacement of the male vocalist with a female one was seen as less captivating. Despite initial disappointment, some tracks like 'Ferrum' and 'Sunlight' grew on the reviewer. Overall, while not matching earlier works, the album has a few noteworthy moments. Listen to Mechanimal's Delta Pi Delta and discover its blend of dark and commercial sounds, especially the instrumental gem 'Ferrum'.

 Although the songs are frankly catchy, it remains "little pop," perfect music to listen to in the shower, but it certainly doesn’t give you great emotions.

 These guys have potential - a charismatic frontman, cute, with a beautiful voice; dexterity in electronic accompaniment - but they are still offering a pop that is too anonymous and hasn’t found its way yet.

Hurts' debut album Happiness delivers catchy synth-pop tunes reminiscent of 80s electronic music. While some songs like "Illuminated" and "Better Than Love" stand out, the album overall suffers from uninspired lyrics and a lack of emotional depth. The collaboration with Kylie Minogue on "Devotion" fails to elevate the album significantly. The band shows potential but hasn't yet found a distinctive, compelling voice. Discover Hurts' debut album Happiness and explore its catchy synth-pop and standout moments today!

 The Sims, the game that allowed you to give free rein to all your urges, particularly the destructive ones!

 I stood there contemplating it, ecstatically: sensitive to the soft light of the canvas, the grace it emanated.
