What exactly are we listening to? It’s hard to collocate ‘The World?!’ in a specific genre or category. An extremely eclectic album, the record spans ten different languages and a plethora of seemingly distant genres, resulting in a nuanced and hypnotising listening experience you are likely not to find anywhere else. Penned by Kazakhstan-based group Jackass Band, ‘The World?!’ will certainly resonate with the boldest listeners out there.
The ones willing to go the extra mile – to step into the unknown, artistically speaking. Blending metal and prog-rock stylings with symphonic elements and Chinese folk, Jackass Band feel at the same time furious and melancholic, offering punchy sections alongside more mellow, emotional episodes. The result is a stream of unwavering musical extravaganza which confuses and impresses the listeners.
Featuring lyrics sung in English, Kazakh, Old Icelandic, Danish, Chinese, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian and German, ‘The World?!’ is as expansive as one could wish for. Seriously, this is a record everyone should listen to, at least once. Get your mind blown.
