    AP2, formerly known as Argyle Park, is here with a new album. Suspension Of Disbelief is mainly a Level and Buka CD with two songs written by Klayton (My Sympathies and Resurrection Of The Ravens). On this CD you can hear metal, hardcore, punkrock and dance, poured over with an industrial sauce. The first track seems to start off rather mellow, though dark at the same time. But then, after more than two minutes, the distorted guitars break loose. My Sympathies is a breakbeat arrangement with Mark Salomon from Stavesacre doing some of the vocals. A fast house-beat (190 bpm) with an industrial twist to the music can be heard in Silhouette Of Rage while A New Wound seems to go along the lines of Nine Inch Nails. Resurrection Of The Ravens however is a clear dance-track. So, this album is pretty much a potpourri of styles with that industrial sauce. Some stuff I really dig.
