    It is an utterly twisted delight. [Feb 2012, p.68]

    There are plenty of impulses worthy of exploration, but too often they end up tarnished by a listless desire to meander without direction, making Wilson Semiconductors feel more like a stopgap than a valuable addition to Hagerty's canon.

    At four songs and around 33 minutes, the album doesn't have much structure, with songs starting and ending after random durations, and without the drums, it's low on beat.
