From country to crime drama, Dog Fashion Disco didn't know what theme to cover, so they decided to tackle them all.

This band falls very much into the category of group that you can consider "crazy"; it's part of their style and they integrate it well, but despite everything they manage to be measured and not go too far in an album that leaves in all directions.

The most obvious comparison is with Mike Patton. I even read someone calling the band "Mr. Bungle but more accessible." That's a pretty accurate description of the band, but not necessarily this album.

Even if the genre changes for each track, the general theme is quite similar, exploring the dark almost every time, with "The Hitchiker", elevator music that degenerates, or even "Private Eye", which takes listeners into a detective film. Adultery takes listeners pretty much everywhere.

The brutal changes between metal parts and much more rock parts are reminiscent of bands like Mr. Bungle, or even Stolen Babies. The rather dark general theme can bring to mind The Silver Scream by Ice Nine Kills, centered on horror, but Adultery goes even further, exploring themes that are very far from one another without becoming incoherent.

One of my favorite tracks, for example, is “Desert Grave”. The trumpet against a country background, not only is it unexpected, but also very appreciable. The appearance of the epic violin in "Mature Audiences Only" is also a very appreciable addition that closes the album well. All the instruments cover different genres; certainly metal is prominent, but it is the mixture with other genres that makes this album unique. It's hard not to do a song-by-song review, since each song has nothing to do with the previous one, and the only way in my opinion to capture the essence of this album is to listen to it.

In fact, this album is a little journey; it is proof that metal is one of the most varied genres in the world of music. We can associate it with country, jazz, even rap sometimes. Dog Fashion Disco only demonstrated this throughout this album. A must-have for fans of albums that go in all directions, or of metal's ability to mix with all genres.
