Sometimes it's hard to get past the first 30 seconds of an album and that was the case with this one - tinny, arrhythmic, processed-sounding percussion does not a promising opening make (well, not in my books at least). Turns out to be better than that beginning had led me to believe, filled with ideas, and it certainly provokes me, which is never a bad thing, but all up I find the album too schizophrenic and, I don't know, too depthless or something, to be a satisfying listen.
