    13 songs in 36 minutes is a constrictive ratio for a record with so many proposed ideas, and its brevity makes Rustie’s ideas sound especially half-hearted. It’s bad enough that he doesn’t give the more physical tracks enough time to flex their muscles, but the tracks which suffer most are the briefer, more innocuous pieces.

    Huge letdown after Glass Swords. The songs have no real emotion, and the vocal guests are absolutely garbage. The only things I really likeHuge letdown after Glass Swords. The songs have no real emotion, and the vocal guests are absolutely garbage. The only things I really like this album for are its pacing (it keeps you at least interested as the songs pass) and some of the soundscapes that are created. Also, there are some stupid mixing errors that I never expected a seemingly smart artist like Rustie to make! It's just not good. Favorite track: Velcro Full Review »

    This album is a complete 180 from Glass Swords. If you enjoy new and experimental music, please listen to this album. If you don't likeThis album is a complete 180 from Glass Swords. If you enjoy new and experimental music, please listen to this album. If you don't like change, stop and go back to the same old. This album is a breath of fresh air. Those who wanted a Glass Swords 2.0 will be disappointed, but those who want to see an artist grow and attempt to take on new styles will appreciate this album. Yes, it has popish songs that will turn the original Rustie fan off and all that **** listen as a fan of art and evolution of creativity and the artistic style that Rustie is battling with in this fresh offering of experimental fun...yes fun...ENJOY IT!!!!
