DRX - Thesis

Review by Luciano Martins

Thesis, the latest album by DRX, is a masterpiece that showcases the artist's versatility and creativity. The album features a mix of genres, including hip-hop, R&B, and soul, all blended seamlessly to create a unique sound that is both fresh and timeless.

The album kicks off with "Intro," a short track that sets the tone for what's to come. The next few tracks, including "The Come Up" and "All Night," are upbeat and energetic, with catchy hooks and infectious beats that are sure to get listeners moving.

As the album progresses, DRX shows off his softer side with tracks like "Love Again" and "Take It Slow." These songs are slower and more introspective, with lyrics that speak to the heart and soul.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Thesis," which features a powerful spoken-word intro and a hard-hitting beat that perfectly complements DRX's intense lyrics. This track showcases the artist's ability to craft a message that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.

About DRX

The DRX began as one man with a dusty yellowed keyboard, a pile of staff paper, and an ambitious vision. New York musician Dan Romans has channeled his compositional prowess through the DRX since 2008. Principally a drum set player, Romans also acts as singer, composer/arranger, and lyricist of the DRX. His rhythmic sense, methodical writing style, and diverse musicality produce an unmatched sound that is performed by the DRX with technical precision and emotive candor. Romans compositions are intense, extremely focused on song form, and charged with despondent tone and catharsis. Dynamics and tension are expertly employed to shape unique songs that traverse haunting and intimate passages, riveting polyrhythmic full-band riffs, brutal breakdowns, and heart-crushing, anthemic cadences. DRX songs are marked by recurring motifs, engaging feel, clever structure, and compelling hooks that engross the mind and entice repetition. The poignant lyrical themes of the music relate emotional suffering, social injustice, and salvific rumination. The sonic aura of the DRX is created by voice, guitar, bass, drum set, and additional instrumentation including: horns, woodwinds, strings, choir, and synthesized drones and sonics. Although the DRX performs infrequently, the band has been active since 2009. The transforming line-up of excellent contributing musicians includes members of: Beauchene Skulls, Blank Paper, Buke & Gase, East of the Wall, El Drugstore, Gruesome 2sum, Hazel-Rah, Jerseyband, Kayo Dot, Northern Water Snake, Emily Peal, The Riot Oak, and Stern. The DRX has released the eclectic, high-energy debut: Thesis (2009)  mastered by Zach Lipkins; the heavy, devastating EP: The Deepening Hole (2011)  recorded by Jon Grabowski and Colin Marston, mixed and mastered by Colin Marston; and the truly epic concept album: Throughout Within (2016)  recorded by Tyler Hartman and Jon Grabowksi, mastered by Carl Saff.
