I must give credit to Harem Scarem for wanting to produce a bold album, with sounds akin to those of Nickelback, but not succeeding in all the songs. Half of the album is really enjoyable, but the other half is unlistenable in my opinion.

The review of Harem Scarem's 2005 album Overload describes it as a slight improvement over its predecessor Higher but still far from the band's best work. With a darker tone and occasional alternative influences, the album offers some strong tracks like 'Dagger' and 'Afterglow' but is weighed down by several weaker songs. The reviewer recommends giving it a listen despite some filler content. Ultimately, Overload represents a mixed effort from a band in decline. Listen to Harem Scarem's Overload and discover its hidden gems despite mixed reviews!

Each piece has a landscape to offer you, an emotion to communicate to you, a memory to suggest to you, because this is free music, free from every shackle.

The beginning is very beautiful, like a conversation taken halfway through, it starts like this, without backstory, without anything: a pure immersion. Bret Easton Ellis seems to always talk about the same themes, each time in the same way, and appears confined to an era and a vaguely stereotyped socio-economic situation that ends up limiting his horizons.
