With “Break the Rules / A Ticket into Underworld“, albums number 3 and number 4 have now also been released on silver discs.
As with the first two albums, there is hardly any question for the hardcore fan about whether to buy the CDs. However, not every hardcore fan exists, and even fewer people have the first four records by MAD SIN on vinyl. In reasonably acceptable condition, these records are no longer available at a low price.
Thus, the CDs are a good alternative, and they can also be listened to in the car.
When listening to “Break the Rules“, the changed style of the band stands out, which resembles the current style of MAD SIN more. This is partly because the band has grown. Köfte is now only the singer, giving him even more opportunities to use his voice. The drums have evolved from a stand-up to a real big drum set with its own drummer. This makes the music more powerful and even more melodic. Additionally, they are moving away from classic psychobilly and heading towards rock, punk, and metal. Back then, this meant breaking genre boundaries. Today, one would call this Punk’n’Roll.
The sixteen songs are all original compositions except for two tracks. Back then, the band had a huge creative output. Nowadays, fans have been waiting for a new album for years.
“A Ticket into Underworld“ is the fourth and final re-released album of the band.
This album is in many ways the most interesting and multifaceted of the first four releases by MAD SIN. One could say that the band really goes wild here. But one could also say that the four psychos have found themselves and their style. I tend towards the latter. The album is simply insane. It showcases four musicians in their very own universe. Madness, a penchant for exaggeration, and absolute skill come together here. When listening, you are compelled to pay attention. You discover that the band can now not only play new school psychobilly tracks (“Road to Ruin“) but also pure rock’n’roll in the style of Motörhead (“Overpower”), that they can do old school rock’n’roll (“What’s Behind”), and that they can tell musical horror stories (“Meattrain at midnight”). Something for everyone, pure madness for all!
If there needs to be any confirmation of the unique quality of the band, here it is!
Two remastered CDs, at a fair price, from one of the most important, if not the most important psychobilly band not only in Germany but in Europe. Anyone who doesn’t have these discs must buy them!
