    I didn't love this album at first, and I've gradually started hating it. See, there's nothing wrong with songs like Hollow Moon and Run (especially the former is definitely worth checking out), but the overall narrative of the record just hurts to read into. Lines like "if the phone rings, tell him nothing/or maybe one thing, that hell is coming" on Drinking Lightning make me wonder why II didn't love this album at first, and I've gradually started hating it.

    First five tracks are beyond fantastic because they show the power and originality of the band. Unfortunately, the spirit is gone after them and it never ever comes back (it seems that it has been kept up between repetitive and unmemorable choruses, bland instrumentals and a general nonsense and tiredness). It's a pity, because the album could have been much much better than this. 6.3/10

    The aptly named Run never really finds its mark, as it too often charges brazenly into the ether and is gone forever.

    Most of it's the aural equivalent of a shoulder rub, but when it's good, it's very good indeed. [21 Mar 2015, p.54]
