Nov 10, 2017Value is bleak, uncertain, and disconcerting, and even fans of Safe might find it a bit hard to connect with, but Visionist has a talent for reaching deep within and channeling existential crisis, and the album is another success. No one said this would be easy.

It is a deep and involving work with Visionist exploring his self-worth as an artist and how the process of making music can both give him strength and leave him vulnerable. A bold, ambitious album that once again finds Visionist truly worthy of his forward-thinking moniker.
