On this review I will be reviewing the new album from The Internet which was released on the 20th July 2018. It's the fourth studio album by 'The Internet' called "Hive Mind".
The Internet are an American band from Los Angeles California which consists of five members 'Syd', 'Matt Martians', 'Patrick Paige II', 'Christopher Smith', and 'Steve Lacy'. They were formed in 2011 by Oddfuture members 'Syd' and 'Matt Martians'. along with touring members 'Christopher Smith' and 'Tay Walker'. The Internet are signed with Columbia Records. Their genre are R&B, Funk, Electronica, Hip Hop and many more. I like their style of music it's really interesting. Despite I do not listen to them that much I think they are a good band with an interesting discography. I just love that they are a Funk, R&B band. Which I think we need more Funk bands in this current moment in the music industry. The band has released several of EPs and of course studio albums. Discussing about their studio albums they have released four studio albums. Let's go through one by one. Their debut album "Purple Naked Ladies" which was released back in 2011 which is solid debut album it's not that bad. I thought their debut album was alright. The album features collaborations from 'Tay Walker', 'Kilo Kish' and many more. Their second studio album "Feel Good" which is my favourite from them. A strong second album which delivers more Electronica funky to it. The album features collaborations from 'Mac Miller', 'Yuna', 'Tay Walker', 'Jesse Boykins III' and many more. Their third album "Ego Death" which is a decent album which had some great colloaboration from 'Janelle Monae', 'Vic Mensa', 'Kaytranada' 'Tyler The Creator'. It was more of an R&B album. Which now brings us to their new album "Hive Mind". After hearing their new album what did I think of it? Another great album from the band. It's great seeing them back. I am just loving the funk vibes on this album. It's a great album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Come Together" I love Syd's vocals on this track. Great funky bass on this track. "Come Over" another great funky track. Loving Syd's vocals and the bass on this one. It's well produced. "La Di Da" I love the intro. It's a wicked track quite catchy and groovy. "Mood" a smooth R&B track with great bassline loving it. "Next Time/Humble Pie" It's a decent track with decent lyrics. Syd's vocals were alright on this track. "Look What U Started" it's a track with interesting production and drums on this track. It's the kind of production we hear on some radios. It's another great one. "Beat Goes On" my number 1 favourite I think it's the best track on the album I just love how's its repetitive it's groovy. My least favourite track is "Stay The Night" I'm not saying it's bad track it's still an alright track.
Overall I am pleased that 'The Internet' are back it's great seeing them back. I loved this album I thought it was a great album. I would listen to it again. I am giving this album an 8/10.
