2 stars One word: Crap. For all of you totally abstract border line hioppies this might appeal to you, but PoS is so far from what the used to be I can't stomach it anymore. This cd starts out like it could have some sweet crunching riffs and what happens... they bust out in some lightly mixed folk song. Oh wait... is that a guitar... oh i think i hear some guitar... oops just Daniel screaching.

I've been losing interest in this band over the last few albums and now it's pretty obvious that they aren't interested in rocking out anymore. They would be better off renaming themselves and playing as a Broadway musical band. This serious is the biggest waste of money ever for a metal fan. There's about 30 seconds of riffing in a couple of tracks and the rest is just "oh look how pretty and beautiful we can play."

Definitely pass if you're looking for the old Entropia/OHBTCL Pain of Salvation. You're just going to get an hour of ambient noise. Totally suckful and disappointing from someone who used to hold my highest respect. Metal is dead to them.
