Every element on this album works so well together in perfect harmony. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of a depressing life that is paranoid of becoming less and less human as technology takes over the world. The music is crazy and erratic and distorted and ominous to highlight these feelings. Every song has such a creative outlook on this topic and the execution is basically perfect. I do find myself listening to this less and less but not because I dislike it. I think I resonate with the album a lot which kind of scared me and I don’t want to feel the feelings that the album portrays. Such is life.
