I have to say, this is pretty basic rock so far, nothing at all different or memorable standing out. It says a lot, perhaps, that I don't hear anything to attract me until the sixth track, “Loneliest”, and even then that's just all right; better than what has gone before but not brilliant by any means. An oddly Queen-like tune with Mexican flair, “When I Became a Man” is another interesting one, but it's less than a minute, so more a novelty than an actual song. Perhaps some people might consider it Beefheartesque in a way, I don't know. It's certainly different.
It kind of falls back into mediocrity then, though “Make No Sound In the Digital Forest” is an interesting instrumental, but there's only one song left now, so I can't see my opinion of this changing. And it didn't. This is a very ordinary album with nothing really to pique my interest.
