  • Summary: The Los Angeles-based electronica artist's fifth album has a bit of a Brazilian feel.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 9 out of 12
  2. Negative: 0 out of 12
  1. His previous album's excellence made it seem like Daedelus was working at his peak but amazingly he not only equals that album but surpasses it, creating his most satisfying album since his debut.

    Daedelus weaves his sounds into an intricate sonic tapestry that pleases the ears while stimulating the brain. [Jun 2006, p.110]
  3. The disc is a dense, cerebral, sweated-over work of art.

    Never less than inventive. [Jul 2006, p.110]
  5. Despite the extremely strong sonic points, most of the album falls short in the songwriting department.
  6. The main problem haunting Denies The Day's Demise is the same one that holds back several past releases from Daedelus. While the release is cohesive and fairly entertaining, it could have used a bit more editing in terms of overall running length.
  7. If you have the time to dedicate to these genre-bending excursions, the effort can be worth it more often than not.
