4 stars Well the track "The Myth of White Jesus" resumes all the best melodic music ideas within this interesting album!! Moreover some clever guitar solos, without such excesses typical of those guitar driven modern art rock bands, make this album quite original and remarkable as well. Anyway here you find some spare "CRIMSONesque" and "FLOYDian" references, a few ones, and such a "DJAM KARET trademark" as well, characterized by a special atmosphere, sometimes "ambient music-like", but it's never boring!! Besides a top-notch sound palette and their skill to perform some improvisational stuff too, complete the whole array of their modern music ideas. The powerful rhythmical section, sometimes reminding of that one by Don Caballero (in a less talented manner or without a particular virtuosity), is the right stuff. Nevertheless some other rhythmical parts are always balanced!! However I think of the opener track and the already mentioned "The Myth of White Jesus" as the best examples of their creativity!!

Recommended art rock stuff, probably the best one by DJAM KARET.
