Kind of an odd little start, but now that it's got under way this is pretty decent. Not about to become a fan at this moment, but it's not bad. “Demon in Profile” is an interesting song with a hint of Bowie and Queen about it, and “Copernicus” is great too. All damn fine stuff really. “I Got Lost” is a sweet little piano ballad with an oddly hollow and distant vocal for the first minute or so of the song; kind of makes it sound a little psych rock or something, with a tinge of country in it. Hmm. I see this is some guy called Scott Bennett doing the vocals, the only time he does so on the album. Anyone know who he is? Cos I sure don't. The closer is killer, too. Hell of an album. Hell of an album. Did I mention this is a hell of an album? It's a hell of an album.
