Veto "Point Break" (2013)

Point Break, ep
release date: Jan. 21, 2013
format: cd
[album rate: 3 / 5] [3,02]
producer: Veto
label: RCA Records / Sony Music - nationality: Denmark

Tracklist: 1. "Hidden Laws" (3,5 / 5) - 2. "Turner" (2,5 / 5) - 3. "Battle" (3 / 5) - 4. "Turing Machine" (3,5 / 5) - 5. "Consumer Logic" (3 / 5) - 6. "Esc" (2,5 / 5)

6-track ep release by Veto. It's unmistakably the sound of Veto.
I just don't find that this release has the usual great hooks and it also lacks some of the new elements of glitch pop. Here the band sounds more like an unoriginal take on Danish band Turboweekend combined with strong bits of Radiohead, which is a bit sad. Also, they have moved toward more traditionally founded tracks where the strong and heavy punching keyboards are missing... me think.

Veto "Sinus" (2012)

Sinus, ep
release date: Sep. 2, 2012
format: cd
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,45]
producer: Veto
label: Sony BMG - nationality: Denmark

Tracklist: 1. "Bowls" (3 / 5) - 2. "Upwards" - 3. "Four to the Floor" (4 / 5) - 4. "Spears" (3 / 5) - 5. "Filter" (3,5 / 5) - 6. "Show Me Where You Go" (3 / 5)

6-track ep release by Veto. The band doesn't do a lot to incorporate new styles in its sound, although, this shows a small tendency in borrowing elements from glitch pop. Sometimes I still hear a little too much inspiration from Bloc Party (e.g. 'Upwards') but Troels Abrahamsen has a very different vocal sound which makes that tolerable.
The band produces some great tunes but struggles in making coherent and solid album releases. This is, however, a strong ep, perhaps the band's very best release, that makes you wish there were more.

Veto "Everything Is Amplified" (2011)

Everything Is Amplified
release date: Feb. 28, 2011
format: cd
[album rate: 3 / 5] [3,16]
producer: Veto
label: RCA Records - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "You're Hard to Get" (4 / 5) (live) - 2. "Am I Awake Or Should I Wake Up" - 3. "This Is Not" (4 / 5) - 8. "Take It Outside"

3rd studio album by Veto who continues its heavy / hard indietronica style. The rhythm section is tight and the band's trademark. Compared to another Danish act of the genre, Turboweekend, Veto has a more simple, yet more danceable sound, which simply rely on sound, but also a weaker lyrical side, which at times simply ruin the impression.

I think, the album starts off as their so far album out, but then falls after track #3 and just never reach the same fine level. Perhaps as a consequence to this the band has only released another two eps after this.

Veto "Crushing Digits" (2008)

Crushing Digits
release date: May 5, 2008
format: cd
[album rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,45]
producer: Veto; Carsten Heller & Veto (2, 3, 8)
label: RCA Records / Sony Music - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "Blackout" - 2. "Built to Fail" - 3. "Shake" - 4. "You Say Yes, I Say Yes" (4 / 5) - 5. "Crooks" - 6. "Digits" - 8. "You Can't Afford It"

2nd studio album by Veto. This is a move towards a more distinct sound based on indietronica, and it's clearly the band's best effort so far. Veto consists of Troels Abrahamsen on lead vocals and keyboards, David Krogh Andersen on guitar, Jens Skov Thomsen on bass and backing vocals, Mark Lee on guitar and keyboards, and with Mads Hasager on drums.
The music is the band's strongest asset, and the lyrics sometimes draws too much attention because of Danish-English grammar, which unfortunately is an issue on later releases as well. However, this is (thank 'god') not Bob Dylan, hence, the vocal is a mere instrument, but basically, I really enjoy the energy, and the output they produce, and that's what matter here. It's quite original and definitely has something to offer, although, the quality of the songs varies somewhat throughout the album.

Veto "There's A Beat In All Machines" (2006)

There's a Beat in All Machines [debut]
release date: Feb. 27, 2006
format: digital
[album rate: 2,5 / 5] [2,56]
producer: Veto
label: Tabu Records / Sony - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "Can You See Anything" - 3. "You Are a Knife" - 4. "Cannibal" - 6. "Short Fused"

Full studio debut album by Veto. The style is less indie rock and more indietronica compared to the band's debut ep from 2005, although, it still contains traces of post punk revival. It also includes the two best tracks from the ep, here enlisted as #3, and #4.
Without having obvious great tracks and also being both this and that, I somehow think, the album points to a more original path.

Veto "I Will Not Listen" (2005)

I Will Not Listen, ep
release date: Sep. 10, 2005
format: cd
[album rate: 3 / 5] [2,90]
producer: Veto
label: Tabu Records / Playground - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "You Are a Knife" - 3. "Cannibal" - 5. "Reset"

Studio debut release by Veto is a self-produced 5-track ep. The style is indie rock and indietronica combined. Some of the tracks sound like inspired by Bloc Party or Radiohead and / or mostly indie rock and post punk revival bands, thus lacking some originality.
