 Excellent Release June 20, 2008

Wonderful new direction! I enjoyed this CD very much from the first time I popped it in. Wether or not it is true to their roots is irrelevant. This CD blows away most of pop radio so please give some credit where it is due. It isnt another CV or CM, get over it!

Vicious Delicious
Long time fan of Infected Mushroom. I am truly impressed with this album, not because it sounds like their previous albums (some songs do have this original sound). But rather because of what is different from what they previously put out.
I really dug the hip-hop and the singer on Artillery. I know there are some who are going to hate it but I think it might be a question of taste rather than quality. The song is VERY different from their typical style and crosses over different genres. It is also a brilliant song and I find my self almost subconsciously grooving to it.
I'm probably also among the few who actual likes In Front of Me. This song, even with some synth sounds, is really a rock ballad but I don't think it's too out of place on the album.
The rest of the album has a mix of brilliant techno that sounds like it came from a genius ADHD kid with something to prove. As soon as I get comfortable with a lick or sound, it changes and shows me something else that's also neat. Repetition is rare on this album and most of the songs have very different beginnings/middles/ends.
The best thing on this album, arguably, is the singing. I really think it adds a new dimension. Not everyone will agree but I think it makes it even more interesting than it already is.

This album is a complete explosion of sound. I can honestly say I was a different person before I heard it - Infected Mushroom have basically invented a whole new genre of psychadelic trance - a perfect fusion between rock and metal guitar sounds and some pretty hardcore beats - the only real way to describe this album is lucious. The sound is rich, pure, full - Vicious Delicious seems like a natural progression of "IM the supervisor", taking what they were trying to do there and just about perfecting it. Vicious Delicious does lose some of the edgy sound their earlier albums, and its rather more positive than albums like The Gathering - but on the other hand, all the haters who say they love IM's old stuff and hate the new need to chill, and realise that Vicious Delicious marks Infected Mushroom maturing as a band. There would hardly be any fun in churning out identical, run of the mill psychtrance albums - Infected Mushroom have taken a gamble, experimented, and perfected their craft at the risk of losing their core base of fans, and anyone who listens to this album with an open mind will agree that it paid off.
This is the future of music.

This is my first listening of this band and I must say that it just made me chuckle. There are quite a few unexpected sounds, moods and effects that go from the first cut straight to the end. Sorry, but I just couldn't stop giggling with delight that I stumbled on such a masterpiece. Yes, a few of the songs are a bit predictable, but the entire CD is packed with such energy, conviction, fun, whit, and grunge thanks to the well crafted engineering, that you just have to listen to it all over again; and I have a boat load of CDs.

Vicious Delicious was a surprise to me. I haven't picked up any Infected Mushroom since Classical Mushroom and the Gathering and I expected more along those lines. Instead, what I found was a stylistically diverse electronica album that is as satisfying to a long-time fan like me as it is accessible to new listeners (I created 5 new fans on their first listen to Becoming Insane, Forgive Me and Heavyweight also being popular).
Some bands never evolve noticably or if they do, they're often thought of as selling out. What I see in this album is an ability on the part of Infected Mushroom to find a logical evolutionary direction for their musical style, one that could very well be a breakthrough for them if it gets sufficient exposure.
I can't tell you if you'll like this or hate it, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoy the pop and metal influences threaded into the tracks (I'm tempted to compare Infected Mushroom to Paul Van Dyk for their willingness to do more with the genre than just get by on a formula). The electronic fusion of goa, synth, metal, pop and everything else they've managed to cram in here works rather than hinders, bringing the Mushroom into a new space occupied by a precious few, a space they occupy admirably.
