    Psychic isn’t quite rock, but it does lean more heavily on backbeats, guitars, and occasionally even traditional song structure than any of Jaar’s previous work. The vocals are even clear at times.

    Psychic simply doesn’t leave a lasting memory when one considers the work as a whole.

    The only fusion too far here is Paper Trails, a blues-funk digression from this otherwise elegant experiment: closing track Metatron marries blues and sci-fi much better.

    If Pink Floyd would have been producers, their music would come closest to the sound of this album.
