A very simplistic and brilliant album. A combination of everything that is great about folk music and everything that was great about Northstar. The songwriting is some of the best of the year, and the instrumentation creates a haunting atmosphere to acoustic guitar, which almost seems like a contradiction to most musicians. The maturity and growth is also apparent in the lengths of the songs, Northstar did not have over five minutes and twenty-four seconds, Kingprince has two songs almost over six minutes, half the album over four minutes, but the music never seems forced. Having such a simplistic epic album is sort of a major contradiction, but I guess having a punk-folk album be a contender for album of the year is too. Just a brilliant album by Cassino on so many levels.
