Advantages: Deliciously Dark

Disadvantages: None

'The Alternative' is a delicious mix of dark electro pop fused with a generous helping of 80's synth, which combines with the occasional piano ballad to create an infectious and groovy album.

Vocally Chris Corner is spot on and the numerous echo effects combining with the piano work and strong percussion line makes for an excellent album, which is certainly like nothing else I've ever heard.

While the general style of the music may be slightly out of the mainstream, being neither rock, pop or dance but rather a combination of all three, it might take some time for IAMX to break from the underground, but in a way it could be a good thing that it doesn't. Either way, I'd love to see a live show and hopefully there will be one in the not too distant future.

If I have to switch the lights off... I want to switch them off with you... THIS WILL MAKE YOU LOVE AGAIN
