    Let me state from the start, this album doesn't fit the format of Art For The Ears. Fearful Symmetry is another incarnation of the musical mind Jimmy P. Brown II, known for the Christian metal band Deliverance. A Loss Of Balance was released on his own label Serpent Media. Deliverance fans who might hope for some heavy guitars will be disappointed. The new Fearful Symmetry album is a pure electronic album. This is clear in a song like Tension. Yet the song has a dark sound that might be appealing. Jimmy Brown's singing sounds a lot like the singer for Marilyn Manson in that song. But if you think Fearful Symmetry sounds like Marilyn Manson gone electronic, you're wrong. The title track is a mid nineties dance song with a different vocal approach. Music that you might think is outdated, at least in Europe. On the other hand, you might consider it as nostalgia. In fact, I can appreciate several of the songs.
