What kind of name is Incommunicado? I entered their band name into Wikipedia to do a little bit of research and Alex Smoke who produces Techno style music was the only match. Hmm…

The "Losing Daylight" CD cover is not very appealing to me and gives off the impression that "Losing Daylight" isn't going to be the best album I have ever heard. The album is described as having hardcore beatdowns. It’s safe to say there isn’t any beatdowns as far as I can tell anywhere on this album. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to seeing how they had approached the beatdown.

I don’t know if Incommunicado aimed for the raw punk sound or it happened to end up like this due to a bad choice of recording studio or producer. Either way, I am not a fan. I have never been a fan of the raw punk sound be it a deliberate use or not.

With the production quality being low and dull it makes for many boring songs one after the other. This 12 track album feels as if it is one long 29 minute track. There doesn’t seem to be any difference in rhythm or approach anywhere on the entire album. Listeners will start to get bored and turn off before the 5th song (if that) starts.

If I carry on writing this review I won’t be able to stop bad mouthing this album unfortunately. One piece of advise to you the listener is don’t listen to "Losing Daylight" unless you plan on being severly bored or you do actually like continually monotonous of music.
