    Crucially, this is a record that deserves to be approached, consumed and judged on its own merits. And merits there are aplenty.

    Welcome echoes include Bramah's sinister, cogent non sequiturs and the contorted, sharp-edged rock sounds, and the urgent to interpret everything as a reference to MES becomes flesh with the spectral/beefy Harlequin Duke. [Jul 2023, p.85]
