The term 'Metallo' has been coined to describe Heartbreak's marriage of Italo disco and metal, and as clunky and awkward a label as that might seem, it's not entirely without foundation. Heartbreak are like an evil twin to labelmates Neon Neon, fashioning audacious and memorable synth hooks, but adding an element of darkness to their pop constructions - albeit a very tongue in cheek kind of darkness. Like The Human League fronted by a squeaky voiced Rob Halford, Heartbreak mix exuberant electro-pop with an over-enthusiastic delivery that occasionally brings to mind a camp Tenacious D. Barely a beat of this album goes by without something happening that'll have you stifling a snigger, and even when you're listening to a great piece of analogue disco like 'Akin To Dancing' you'll find yourself chuckling at the seriousness with which these guys deliver the line: "You. Will. NEVER see me sitting down." And then there's 'Robot's Got The Feeling' and its opening gambit "Robot's got the feeling/Oh, right on!/Robot's got the feeling/Hi tech soul!" Better yet is the high tempo throbbing bassline drive of 'We're Back', which sounds positively anthemic. Recommended. boomkat
