To be honest, I'm not as much of a fan of GY!BE now as I was a few years ago, but I was still expecting a better album.

The songs themselves (well, the two actual songs, really) are nice but lack the element of surprise from previous albums. The drone parts don't really go anywhere and aren't really interesting on their own.

Also the mixing/production really put me off this album. Just feels too messy and unpolished to me.

Anyway, the whole thing just feels rushed. The two main songs don't have any room breathe and the drone parts just aren't exciting enough.

Hopefully my opinion will change with time (Maybe big crescendos just don't do it for me anymore )
