★★☆☆ This album is a challenge to get into, largely because of the weird production values. Now, I’m real big on the idea of getting away from the Toontrackification of metal, but tell me it doesn’t sound like these guitars were recorded through Pignose amps, and with the internal microphone on a Macbook Pro. All that said, if you can get comfortable with the sound, there’s some legitimately interesting, moody, and rockin’ riffs on here.
