Solid album

I saw them live in San Francisco earlier this month opening up for The Cruxshadows. They're a solid band live, definitely worth seeing. As for this album, it's good all the way through. Not a bad song on the album. It's danceable, yet the lyrics are deep, not so bubblegum. They're a little bit more serious than The Birthday Massacre, the band they keep getting compared to. I:Scintilla's Optics has a nice blend of Industrial, Goth, and a slight hint of Metal. Grab this album, but whatever you do, if they're in town, see them live. They put on a great show.

Think they're good recorded...

I:Scintilla rock hard on this album, a perfect mix of rock and synth. I would recommend seeing them live however. I had the privilege of doing so in Seattle, and they rock even harder in person. I love their onstage presence!

Hmm. Not bad.

"Optics" has a feel to it that reminds me of The Birthday Massacre, but without the child's-eye pretenses. Heavy on synth elements and clear lyrics. Leaves an aftertaste of industrial synthpop, but not in a bad way... more like nostalgia. The bonus disc is worth sampling as well, with add-ins from KMFDM and Xymox Clan that add kerosene to the feel of a lost era in music.
