No Flow starts off with 'I Bleed', a song that starts with sounds that could be found in the Techno scene. I Bleed gives the album a great loud start and it is clear what their idea was in the order of songs. Start out with the loudest song and end with the softest one. This is a great strategy to stress that you want to be seen as a heavy band. Another song that should be paid attention to is the last song on the
album, ’Time', which shows that the band can make very calm songs as well. They really succeeded in making a smashing end with this song, a song that you should really get to know.
No Flow is definitely an interesting album in terms of genre. The styles they combine are rarely seen together and although they fail in the execution of the climaxes, it is a good try but they have their work laid out for them. It is an album you should listen to, but it is for you to decide whether you like it or not. This album has a good shot to become a name in the rock scene, but if Silence the Feedback wants to be a heavier band, which I Bleed implies, they will have to create louder drum beats.

Combine shrieking guitar solos, simple rock beats, loud bass and melodic singing alternated with harsh vocals. Silence the Feedback can be described best as an alternative, melodic, hard rock band, which is an odd combination. In their music you can hear a lot of influences such as Pantera, Rise Against, Rage Against the Machine and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Silence the Feedback tries to get the best out of every individual style they use on the album “No Flow“, which is their second album.
In the songs you can clearly hear that they want to incorporate different styles of music. They have an interesting structure in their songs but to become a serious band in the hard rock scene they may require heavier drum beats, maybe even double bass lines. They have to work on getting the best out of all the styles they use. Because of the high level of diversity they fail in delivering the climax of every song, because every time you get the feeling that it is coming, that is the moment they decide to switch styles again. So in trying to be diverse in many genres some of their songs tend to be boring because there are no real climaxes.
