REVIEW
Excessively complex at times, this album not only loses but undercuts and destroys its own atmosphere, sacrificing what could have been at least an interesting album for one that instead strives for an intricacy that only pulls it further down. Of course, there are some exceptional moments and the first three tracks show great promise, but it's unfortunately a promise that the rest of the album utterly fails to live up to.
