| At first glance this album is an enjoyable, if not overly dense at times, showcase of 'all things jaga'. Once the compositions are unpacked though and the intricate details begin to show their faces the wall of crazy sounds gives way to a perfectly painted mural. Minor drum fills act as preludes to the next beat change, melodies and chord progressions are mixed, matched and teased. What's amazing is throughout the ~50 minutes of runtime, the album never sticks to one idea for an overly long amount of time, but there is a sense of cohesion throughout all songs, both in structure and actual melody that is seldom found in fusion music. Even more rare is how subtle it all is, preventing that "i feel like i'm listening to the same song over and over again" feeling that comes with this territory so often. In summary: I'm blown away. |

| I've had this cd for three days and in those three days I can not stop listening to it, and any friend who has even the slightest interest in hardcore is begging me to burn/send them a copy, this is PTW back to form and could go down as a rival to the opposite of december for their best ever. |

| went into this with no expectations, and i am blown away, while i enjoyed the more poppy sound of the past few albums, their earlier stuff is the reason i got into the band, so this album is a godsend for me |
