10 very good songs on this album. I'll skip the bonus rack 11 when listening again. I guess Devin got a lot of negativity out of his system in this period, and then started focusing a lot on his recent uplifting music.

조울증이 이렇게 무섭습니다 여러분. 그러니까 장발하고 빡빡이 중 하나만 선택해야 하는 거에요.

Just...Just check Imperial with Skeksis. Are they really human being? I'm stunned.

데빈은 맥시멀리즘 프로듀싱의 장인. 녹음도 잘되었다.
level 9   80/100
Strapping Young Lad violently catapults heavy, chaotic sounds at a persistent manner, and it may drive you nuts.
level 10   100/100
핑크 플로이드식 감정까지 소화하는 걸 보니 100점이 절로 나오더군요
level 21   80/100
opäť celkom dobré album, ale City neprekonal
level 7   90/100
굉장히 우주적이고 프로그래시브한 앨범이다. 컬트적인 느낌도 나고 상당히 재미있는 앨범.
level 19   80/100
전작과 마찬가지로 여전한 광폭함을 뿜어내는 앨범이다.
