Mar 14, 2011Showing an impressive savvy in inviting perhaps unlikely artists to collaborate with them also leads to some of the record's highlights.
-
Mar 14, 2011Immersion takes Pendulum further still from their roots. It offers more rock and more dance, but most importantly more fun. And when it's good, it's very good indeed.
-
Mar 14, 2011Ultimately Immersion adds nothing new to the Pendulum experience, but still sees the band doing what they do best. Go immerse yourselves.
-
Mar 14, 2011The nearly 68-minute length of Immersion works against it at times, but the aforementioned "The Fountain" and the '80s-referencing "Encoder" make it well worth reaching the end.
-
Apr 14, 2011Front to back, Immersion is pretty sturdy. But it also belies its title by not really plunging any real depths.
-
Q MagazineMar 14, 2011Immersion certainly contains its share of crossover anthems--not to mention some palette-expanding diversions into dubstep and progressive trance territories--but they'll be better appreciated in a festival field than the front room. [Jul 2010, p.135]
-
Mar 14, 2011There are still a little too many US FM radio pop-metal vocals, but happily there's also plenty of fierce, melody-laced drum & bass action that will please festivals and dancefloors the world over.
-
Mar 14, 2011While it provides a fair amount of material for those who prefer either release, Immersion also stretch out here, leaning heavily toward industrial-style rock on a handful of tracks while veering toward metal on "Self vs. Self."
-
Mar 14, 2011It's robotically humourless; imagine C3PO discovering ecstasy and synths and you're there.
-
Mar 14, 2011Immersion is less fun, harder work than In Silico. It feels like Pendulum are trying to be more than an anonymous CD you put on at a party when everyone's too boxed to DJ any more. They shouldn't.
