If Sting and Depeche Mode got together
to form a goth metal band, then Klimt 1918 would probably be the result. The
going on "Undressed Momento" is
largely light and pretty goth rock, but every now and again some very
furious double bass drumming and heavier guitar rear their heads to throw
expectation on its ear.
You can hear The Cure now and again too on this record, whose greatest
assets are the vocals and the melodies they sing. Clean and lovely, the
singing of Marco Soellner is ruined only in the use of that abhorrent
vocal effect that Cher popularized on her "Do you believe in life after
love" song. Luckily, it's only on one song, and only for 10 seconds, But
still a half point off for that. Let it never happen again.
