Ever wanted to have a little Arabic man running around in your head breaking everything it can find in your frontal lobe while instructing your motor cortex to dance to the latest in club music? Look no further than this album.

I'll admit this didn't phase me at first; I thought it was too overly "jammy" and thought there was simply too much going on to keep me interested. But I kept listening to it, because two melodies in particular stood out: 3 and 4. Eventually, I kept moving on to the other ones; 5, 6, 7, and 2 in that order, and the results amazed me over time. Imagine The Fall of Troy stopped singing, played post-rock instead of post-hardcore, and gave every single song a different melody. The results do not disappoint.

Probably one of the funniest attempts at "emoting" I've ever heard. I can't help but chuckle every time I hear "NOW MY GENES/DIDN'T BLESS ME/WITH THE FORESIGHT/OF A SAGE/BUT I KNOW/THAT THIS WILL END/IN APOLOGIES", "W...WAaADE/IN THE WAhhhATER CHILD", and the sound bit at the beginning of "Interview at the Ruins". It's just so overly dramatic and silly that I can't help but laugh. Perhaps this is what the band wanted me to do; in which case, they have most definitely succeeded. Plus the constant drum smashing makes for good running music every now and then, though it's difficult to both run and laugh at the same time.

I was going to initially give this a 2.5 for it lacking any of the "umph" their previous material have, but the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Each song has some seriously great moments. "Teflon" has "Let the wheels burn/Let the wheels burn", "With Twilight as my Guide" has "With a blank/I/corner" or something, and "Copernicus" has the sudden drum machine/synth combo around the middle of the song. I still like De-Loused better for its energy, but this is definitely worth getting.
