    Lyrics are somewhat interesting, but from a musical standpoint the album is contrived and boring, rather generic. Only one track on the album stands out but even it has a ugly and disgusting feel to it .

    It might only be February, but you wouldn't look foolish calling this one of the albums of the year.
