| 4.0 excellent | jkr5001 | October 3rd 20 |
Nice mix of noise rock, grunge, industrial, and his love for 80s synth pop. This is a lot closer to a more rock oriented Black Queen than I was expecting from the singles. Not disappointed. Also, his release strategy was spot on. This is what every indie musician and label should do if something leaks.

I really like every song, but as a record this is kinda a mess. It could have been a really good grunge record and a separate record more in vein of the black queen. The lack of cohesion is keeping me from giving it a 4.5 but the songs themselves are excellent.

This is one of the most logical evolution I've seen in recent music. Mathcore, then synthpop, then industrial alt darkwave? Yeah, legit. There still are traces of the inner TDEP violence, as well as the bombastic rhythms brought by The Black Queen, but the added industrial production and the grungy guitar tone make this one its very own beast. Factor in sweet ambient moments and you've got a pretty diverse record. Consistent, filler-free, and energizing as hell, although a tad too "all over the place".

| 2.0 poor | WalrusTusk | October 14th 20 |
I feel like this would have worked well as a collection of EPs, but as a whole it just feels all unfocused. Some of the first songs also feel like incomplete ideas. Really bummed by this.

As a collection of songs this very cool and good, but as an album it feels very all over the place. Feels like a B-sides album to his career so far, but not a bad thing after all.

Second half significantly stronger. ?Do you need me to remind you?? ?Evacuation? ?Heartfree? are wonderful.

The previous singer and mastermind behind the groundbreaking mathcore outfit: The Dillinger Escape Plan, comes through with his debut solo album and I don?t know what they have been putting in the water for industrial music this year, but goddammit he nailed it out of the park with this release. There are so much intensity and grip with it that it brings together Nine Inch Nails intensity with Ulver?s synthpop charm. Each track winds through the emotional issues that he has been facing during the pandemic and how he feels everything in the world is going. So many hard-hitting songs and his screams continue to show that he is one of the most talented in the game still, even at 40. The biggest downfall of this record is that the tracks do tend to jump back and forth between styles. Some tracks are heavy darkwave and industrial metal, while others are smooth and simple synthpop and electro-industrial cuts.

A Pair of Questions is the biggest highlight and I generally appreciate the versatility, but for me but this plays like a random collection of ideas without a cohesive vision. I hope to hear new Dillinger at some point in my life but until then there are more than a few satisfying tunes here to tide me over.

Super cool and modern "90's prime revival" (let it pass). But we all know this is precisely what rMr. Pussyato is about: full on 90's early 00s', in which Patton and the NIN's are a constant (with little Sade/George Michael hints), and an amazing ability to be abrasive, experimental and poppy at the same time. Surprised with his solo quality...although I miss the instrumental's tDEP mathy chaos.

| 4.5 superb | dawija1017 | October 13th 20 |
Love this album. You can tell it's a passion project. A culmination of all of Greg's styles. The
songwriting here is very solid. Each song is memorable and has a lasting effect. I didn't even
know I liked the Black Queen style until I heard their music. But since then I've fallen in love
with what they've done. I'm glad there was more of that spilt over into this album. And I've
always been a huge DEP fan, so although there weren't many heavy songs on here, it's nice to have
a little taste thrown in there. There's def an industrial influence on some of the songs, such as
Deep Set and Evacuation. That song even reminds me of Brainiac a little bit. Greg is super
talented and it really shows on this album. Dude's a legend.

Some really good songs here (both heavy and poppy), but damn this record is inconsistent. Makes me wanna revisit Dillinger.

Great stuff, won't be more than great for me though. The context of Dillinger sticks with me too closely, which was emotively exhausting (in the best way possible).

I really love this album. Wonderful mix of light synth and dark grunge tracks. They all fit together surprisingly well too
