Jun 5, 2013Sure, it isn't as good as Conditions, but that doesn't matter. Where this album hits its lowest points, it is dreary and average. But its high points are brilliant and chillingly touching. I think that the legacy of Conditions has not worked favourably in the eyes of critics for this album.
