The music is beautiful in places, but the vocals don't work for me. I'd have liked this more if
the vocal melodies were less theatrical storytelling type stuff, and he'd brought in a vocalist
other than himself (or dropped the vox altogether). If you do like musical theatre, then this
might be an amazing experience, as the backing has some subtle unexpected flourishes.

| 4.5 superb | ajcollins15 | September 22nd 20 |
I am slowly understanding what leads me to give an album a perfect rating or a high praised 4.5/5 compared to other albums. There is a specific feeling I obtain while listening to albums like this one and the few others who get this honor. There is a deep emotional connection I gained while listening to this beautiful piece of art. From the opening ambient passage to the breathtaking chamber folk tracks laced though out the hour listen. From the lyrics to the instrumentals crafted there is not a moment where I don?t think it is perfect. So many memorable moments and ideas are thrown on this album that it?s impossible to go through them all. The only small downside is the interludes are a bit odd since they don?t give any sense of movement or closure for an instrumental style or lyrical concept. Otherwise, A stunning showing from the ex-Arcade Fire violinist.

| 3.5 great | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | June 8th 20 |
Owen takes the instrumental expanse of his previous records to heart as he attempts to string together an even more drawn out, adventurous affair. But this time I think his ambition takes hold of his songwriting abilities. I too ended up floored every now and then by the gravitas. But you cannot fool me for the whole hour, buddy. Sometimes the understated vocals and middle of the road writing becomes blatantly detrimental and you can't hide behind the building instrumentation forever.
