TEST FOR ECHO

I didn't care for this one. The mood is melancholy, but pointlessly so. At least Power Windows (also a bit on the moody side) had some "take-action" lyrics that left you a ray of hope. Even the more upbeat Virtuality seemed a bit average. The first song seems to set the tone for the whole CD -- life is a struggle, it's cold outside and we're not particularly happy to be here. I would use it for background music, as opposed to putting on a headset and jogging with it. I was disappointed.
