at an attempt to go heavier Junius lost their charm and spark, as well as their sense of structuring songs properly, resorting to verse/chorus most of the time. the songs lack the subtlety of the last two albums, and where i think this album might be among their best for live performances, it doesn't transcend well to record. it's not bad, and in the right context i'm sure it's really enjoyable (that being a live show), but as an album it just doesn't deliver. it's too straight forward and predictable to be engaging. shame, but there are a few tracks worth taking from it. :]
