Aptly fitting with the title, Gary Zon has announced that this new DISMANTLED full-length album would be his last album ever. It seems that he sees DISMANTLED as being a huge misunderstanding which still hasn’t reached and entered the expected reactions of the audience. Well, to me DISMANTLED is still an important addition to the label Dependent and has reached by far more exposure than millions of other bands out there could ever imagine of. But okay, tastes and personal preferences differ, so maybe this could be named as the most important term, why the things haven’t been worked out that smooth how Gary wanted it. DISMANTLED isn’t sort of a Hellektro/Harsh EBM band, period. But after the quite good self-titled debut in 2K2 he has made some wrong decisions to change drastically his style of music and to add his natural sounding voice providing the vocals. A musically development is something which every musicians tries to reach, but it seems that the Electro/Industrial scene isn’t at all that "open-minded" how it likes to be – drastically changes of the music directions do seldom end in a success in this scene. This is something which Gary had to learn painfully. However, "When I’m Dead" sounds to me much more comfortable than his last album "Standard Issue", with which I had my issues. It is simply because Gary has decided to offer a reflection of all different sound outfits he has provided so far including the overwhelming Dark Electro-influence from the debut, plus he has decided to collaborate with some talented guest musicians for one or another track. So you’ll get a track "Clench Your Teeth" with Gary’s voice being hefty manipulated with some vocoder effects – it reminds a bit on "Dystopia" available on the mentioned debut and can offer a similar voice-sample orgy too. For "Stay On Target" he has hired Skot Moat of the US act DYSTOPIATE whose debut "Feral State" is still in a good remembrance. He is responsible for the direction and programming for this track and already this fact points out some richer details than the last DISMANTLED works could offer. Favorite is the danceable track "Wisdom", which really picks up a catchy refrain and also Gary’s vocal performance comes out quite satisfying. With "Under The Flood" he has also included a piano-driven ballad, but this is sort of the rather whiny tunes with vocals too much in the foreground singing along the piano line – not at all spectacular. For "Change The World" Gary has included some guitar riffs to accomplish the song structure, maybe this track introduces the upcoming next music project NNN, which will drift more into an Alternative-driven style. "When I’m Dead" has its moments, no doubt. Let’s see if this was seriously the last audio sign of this music project.
