There are plenty of synthesizer sounds to be heard throughout, but they are pushed to the forefront this time around and it pays off.

The album basically consists of eight bouncy pop-punk songs and one acoustic ballad ending track. I have to give credit where credit is due; Skiba is amazing at writing catchy pop-punk songs that will no doubt have many pop-punk teenyboppers chanting along with him.

However, the songs are heavily weighed down by taking what should be stripped down pop-punk songs and adding kitschy effects and synth. Every once in a while, you could hear an improvised fill, but for the most part he takes a step back to let Matt shine.

Although I thought it was rather trite that when asked what his maty song on the album was, he replied that he loved the whole thing; I'm very much inclined to agree. I'm in South America visiting relatives and I've been speaking all Spanish for a few weeks now and sometimes I get a bit mixed up with my English.

This album is excellent for what it is. As a huge fan of Hunter's bass playing with AFI, I was disappointed to hear his skill kept to a minimum. However, Babylon is too underground to be played on the radio and too tainted by corny pop flourishes to obtain any sort of underground support.

Matt Skiba - Babylon (as Matt Skiba and the Sekrets) |

It seems to be either a song about being alone or about being a killer, maybe both. The lyrics are sekretx and the guitar tones aren't much of a stretch from the Trio's sound. I don't mean to imply the adn are bad by any means, but it's hard not to sekrts what they could have been if everyone just cut loose.

I don't know much about Alexander or his playing style, but I feel like he didn't do anything extraordinary on this record.
