You and me against the world. I haven't heard a more accurate album name, giving rise to so many tense discussions, and all this long before the release. After years of wandering among musical inspirations, and more or less coherent records, Apoptygma Berzerka decided to stand against everything, involving every potential listener in the revolt. If you haven't been an APB fan so far, you can get ready to being one. The group has decided (surprisingly, but not without many rumours) to swerve musically.
Instead of electronic combinations, strong live guitars; instead of a calm "come lie next to me" a forceful "in this together". I never would've thought I'd be writing about a group that became a hit for popular music tv channels and radio stations. I never would've thought I'd be writing positively about such a change and a "sellout" move. I never would've thought that one of the best known groups of the alternative world will be storming the global charts, still staying somewhere round the top regions of our small, electronic underground. ;) "You and Me Against the World" is not electronica, it's absolutely pop-rock, and one of the best there is. Yeah, you can still hear the synths in APB's music, and praise them for that. Electronic fragments and soundscapes create a whole worthy the membranes of our speakers, even though one can put APB next to U2 or (even more accurately) Jon Bon Jovi. If you are hurt by such a comparison, you can as well put APB's latest effort next to Zeromancer. It's a league of their own, a totally different story. This ain't "Harmonizer" or sweet "Kathy's Song". It's a decisive step towards a different world, different fanbase and different expectations. Of course, only if hardcore fans happen to be stubborn enough to underestimate APB's new music.
The hits of the record are "Shine On", the energy of which forces you to move; and "Cambodia" - a cover of Kim Wilde's song, a definite dancefloor killer and energizer, plus a very good refurbishment of an oldie. APB risked everything changing their image (the vocalist even looks a bit different), staking it all on one card being aware that not everyone might like it. They convinced me to such a degree that I decided to stand with them against the world, humming "In This Together"...
