I've been listening to this thing multiple times by now but it's still keeping me at arms' length. On the surface, it seems like it should be attractive enough to me. There's a good variety of musical styles exhibited on the album. The sound quality is pretty damn good. All instruments are expertedly performed and... I still don't really like it. I think a lot of it has to do with the general vibe of this project. Some of the orchestral numbers, I really did think were allright, but I'm just not feeling excitied or moved in particular by anything here.

The tracks that went for more of a bit of weirdness especially didn't sit well with me. Take the track Milk, for example. That sort of approach to art just bores me. Hey, let's be weird and mumble the word "milk" into the microphone while a bee-like drone comes and goes in the background. It's just random nonense and strikes me as a lazy approach to art. I know this sentiment won't find much agreement in here, but that's my view.

Thankfully, this side of the album isn't exactly very pronounced, so I'll have top chalk my dislike of the album down to something vague like how I'm just not feeling all that interested in or connected to the general musical expression of this album.

I think I'm going to do away with numbers for good. I'll just say what I voted. I voted "meh", as in "this is not for me at all, but I can see how it's well made".
