Product Description
Taking elements of rock, glitch, retro-flavored-synth music, and coloring it with a decidedly melodic worldview, Iris is a band that's hard to classify. The new album, "Wrath", is the latest signpost in the Iris story - a record which is energetic, complex, and emotional.

 Powerfully familiar October 19, 2007
I am a big fan of synthpop and techno. I happened across Iris while looking into the new Amazon MP3 downloads section. I played a few of the sample songs and as I jumped through each one, they just kept getting better. Iris has a sound that, to me, feels like a blend of rock, synthpop, with a hint of late 80's alternative. I bought both of their CDs (as MP3s); they do have a third (actually their first) CD, but that one had a different sound from the later two. Worth a listen and a purchase.
 disappointing! July 8, 2007
Disconnect is one of my fave albums ever, so hopes were extremely high for this one, which is why I m all the more disappointed with Wrath- it just sounds so generic, like a million other Depeche Mode wannabes. The production has nothing of the shimmering quality of their Debut, it sounds clunky and heavy, and it is not helped by the unmemorable songs; like other people said in their reviews, I m hard pressed to find even one song that I like.
I wish Iris all the success in the world, they have the potential to be an amazing band, and an important one to boot, but this direction just seems wrong- they went from being really special and unique to "just another synthrock band" in the space of an album.
Very good album May 31, 2006

After waiting about 2 years for a new album , it does not disappoint! After listening to this album I have to say that it continues right where Awakening left off. Wrath is more edgier with added guitars to the music. I would love to see a re-mix album of Wrath done by Iris , however with SYNTHS ONLY PLEASE!
Excellent. April 18, 2006

The dymanic dual deliver the gods for the 3 time. After their last album (awakening), i fell in love with them . I really couldn't wait for them to release this one , and they didn't disappoint. I have to admit that I needed a couple of good listenings before realising how good this album is , but finally it hit me. These guys are really good. Highly recommended to anyone who appriciates good music.
Getting a bit too familiar, though the guitars help April 9, 2006

I was wondering where Iris were going to go after writing what seemed like most of the songs that could be written within their basic formula. Where they went was to add a lot more guitar to the mix -- thereby annoying a few synth purists, but I think it works for them. I'm rounding my 3 1/2 star impression up on that basis.
On the downside, just as an Everclear song is instantly recognizable as an Everclear song, an Iris song remains instantly identifiable as an Iris song. If you were to strip out the lyrics, you'd never know that "No One Left To Lose" wasn't a remix of "Hell's Coming With Me," or vice versa. Iris have their hands firmly wrapped around the throats of a select few chord changes and apparently can't be pried away from them for love or money. This is not necessarily a bad thing: if you like those chord changes, as I do, this album will be pleasant to your ears, and maybe a very good thing to crank up and sing along with on a late-night drive. What it isn't is groundbreaking, especially compared to what, say, Mesh are doing these days.
