Chrome - Chrome Box

Review by Cadillac Muzik

Chrome Box, the iconic album by Chrome, is a masterpiece of experimental rock that has stood the test of time. The album, released in 1982, is a collection of the band's first three albums, The Visitation, Alien Soundtracks, and Half Machine Lip Moves, which were all released in the late 1970s.

The album showcases the band's unique sound, which combines elements of punk, industrial, and psychedelic rock. The tracks are characterized by the heavy use of distorted guitars, synthesizers, and electronic percussion, which create a dark and haunting atmosphere.

The standout tracks on the album include "Chromosome Damage," "TV As Eyes," and "Zombie Warfare (Can't Let You Down)," all of which feature driving rhythms and aggressive vocals. The album also includes the epic 17-minute track "Abstract Nympho," which showcases the band's experimental side.
