    Gibson's music has a strange timelessness faded and well-mulched, though there are moments when the mood proves a little too sludgy to be memorable. [Jul 2015, p.106]

    A frustrating album whose unremitting melancholy frequently feels like an endurance test.

    The problem isn't with Carnation's expansive instrumental palette, but with the way that the record struggles to use its sounds to captivate, often letting each part float away into the ether.

    On Carnation, he tries and fails to be something other than himself.
