![]() The Enter Shikari songwriting rule book extends to three essential tick ‘em off points: one, play your guitars fast and crunchy two, intersperse your singing with throat-shredding growls a la all those post-hardcore sound-alike acts of however many years ago and three, chuck a load of cheap synthesizer beats over the top of everything under the mistaken impression that you’re turning a paint-by-numbers piece into a priceless Jackson Pollock. It begins with a shrill “SHIT!” and a choir of screams, but the thrill doesn’t last: like riding even the most knuckle-whitening of rollercoasters, Enter Shikari’s much-anticipated debut album reveals itself as a wholly one-dimensional listen as early as the third or fourth song, the equivalent of the third or fourth time around said stomach-turning sequence of twisters, given that the structural schematics of each of these 17 tracks are depressingly formulaic.
