Was really excited to see an Injury Reserve related project come up on my playlist but in the end it does not reach what that group was capable of on 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix'. For much of the record the sound is very atmospheric and melancholic and it just feels like it is stuck in the same gear throughout with a couple of standout moments in 'Dead Weight' and 'GGG'. At times beautiful but at other times it feels like the track beneath the vocals was just some random samples and instrumentals given a dose of noise and dissonance and they don't really match the vocals as well. Has its moments but as a whole it doesn't gel together that much.
