\"\"Being honest, I’ve never been an Ayria’s big fan. Maybe it’s the bubblegun sonority in the later albums, with an excessive use of pop clich\u00e9s. Maybe it is just something easy listening, without the complexity from other electronic music acts. Plastic Makes Perfect <\/strong>made me review this\u00a0position.<\/p>\n

This is the second Ayria\u2019s release with production of Sebastian Kommor, renowned musician from Icon of Coil<\/strong> and producer of the Zombie Girl<\/strong>, his wife. Certainly, because of the Kommor\u2019s production, this recording sounds a little bit different from previous ones, bringing a much better and more exciting music than the other works.<\/p>\n

“Hunger” begins good, with electro \/ EBM beats, and one of the singles released before the album. “Big Plans” has a bit of ’80s pop, remembering a little her previous album, “Heart for Bullets”. “All That Glitters” is an electronic rock song, mixed Alternative and, without doubt, one of the pleasant surprises on this release. “Games” is a tribute to the first synthpop groups, as Alphaville<\/strong>, a good song for bubblegum melodies\u2019 lovers.\u00a0 “Plastic Makes Perfect” brings some elements of electro-industrial and pop, as an Icon of Coil<\/strong> with a female vocal. It is the best song on the entire album. “Missed The Mark” is a very pleasant poppy song, \u00a0with a very exciting and catchy chorus.<\/p>\n

“The Box Under My Bed” is more pop \/ gothic, but, unfortunately, is also a little boring, \u00a0with an interesting inclusion of a 80s. keyboard line. \u00a0The wonderful song “Friends And Enemies” recovers the breath from the initial songs, remembering some Pzychobitch\u2019s songs. “Three Months” is something quite in the Pet Shop Boys\u2019 style. It is \u00a0not disappointed, but not excited too. The song “Big City Lullaby” brings a bit of post-punk and rock. “The New Style Of Riot” brings some interesting elements, a closing approach with the Nine Inch Nails\u2019 sonorities, without the pop of previous songs. And, closing this album, “Letter From An Angel”, an \u201calmost-pop-ballad\u201d, melancholic and very sad , recommended to Collide<\/strong>, and Switchblade Symphony<\/strong>\u2019 fans.<\/p>\n

Overall, this album is good. It can be said that there is a very big step since its predecessor, “Hearts for Bullets”. It is a concise and mature recording and with \u00a0a very good production. It also marks the ripening of Jennifer Parkin and, undoubtedly, is a work you must listen.<\/p>\n
