this is Paper Chase's 4th full length. there's not really a lot to say about it that i didn't say in my post about their last album God Bless Your Black Heart. the music is full of beautiful melodies and jagged guitars and noise, they continue to have strange sampley "instrumental" tracks and Congleton's lyrics remain as dark and sarcastic as ever. in fact, overall this is probably their darkest album yet. the cover art and the inside of the booklet (which reminds me of John Doe's notebooks in Se7en) also lend a kind of creepy, mysterious vibe to the darkness. another strange and amazing album from Congleton and Co.
