I at least overall enjoy this more than Endless Twilight. Production is an improvement on this record over that one. I do still get the feeling though that their glory days are long gone at this point though. Still an enjoyable album for the most part though.

In terms of quality compared to their last two pop-focused albums, this one is definitely an improvement over Flowers but still doesn't manage to hit the peaks of Julius Caeser.

Akira Yamaoka Silent Hill: The Short Message
A soundtrack that manages to be longer than the actual game itself. There are a handful excellent standout tracks throughout the 3 hour runtime, but I don't feel like it reaches the same heights of previous tracks. That said the score was probably the best thing about this game.
