    Abandon is quite short for a full-length album, but its physicality and intensity leaves the listener exhausted in a way that doesn't require further expansion.

    Together these four pieces create a single, near-breathless listening experience, robust enough to envelop but varied enough to leave you both craving and curious for more.

    Abandon is a baseline, with Chardiet demonstrating a solid understanding of the fundamentals. [No.99, p.59]
