    III has a highly melodic crossover feel that is somewhat different to many of the players’ other, grittier projects, although the beats remain a little itchy. Songs about crowd mentality and medieval jesters are novel in theme but overthought and bombastically dramatic in their lyrical phrasing.

When it comes to enjoyment though, i think everyone will see this album differently. For me, i enjoyed it :)… Full Review »
