Oct 12, 2017The music on this album only has small doses of the sonic brilliance and groove that it attempted to produce due to a lack of strong melodic drive, because while most every song did have nice backing textures, there should have been more room to develop them rather than trying to rely on songwriting tendencies from Hummel that frankly aren’t very strong here. My Score: 113/180 (Okay) = 6.3/10
