Will's lyrics and the content thereof are pretty recycled, stale and redundant when compared to the other albums under the Control moniker, but aside from that, it sounds pretty solid. The synth melodies are fantastic and his voice is perhaps the best its been yet. "The Monster" is this record's "I'm Only Human Sometimes," with a huge chorus and sweet synth hook. The other songs are good, but not nearly as memorable. Again, problematic, that each track seems to have another perfectly parallel song that William Control has previously released. Still, its an enjoyable listen for the 80's inspired dark pop lovers out there. And, if you haven't heard, this is the first of four EP's that will make up the "Revelations" album, so there's more to look forward to.
