I absolutely loved their previous album "Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?" so expectations were high for this album. Although I can't say this album hits the same mark, it comes really close. But what makes this album a must buy is as much the music as the art.

Overall Sound: |
8.50 |
| A great sounding record all around, good volume, lots of low end. Well mastered and cut. | |
Pressing Quality: |
8.50 |
| Very well pressed, only a very slight weave that isn't noticeable. Clearly they paid attention to detail when pressing this album | |
Vinyl Noise: |
8.00 |
| Very low noise, some can be heard in between tracks but very minor. | |
Overall Artwork: |
9.50 |
| The artwork is pretty amazing. The fold out die-cut poster is extravagant but so is the package and album on the whole! A good part of this album's experience is the artwork. | |
Overall Extras: |
9.00 |
| With the digital download and the incredible packaging the band and label have really created a unique experience here. | |

Jeb Banner I've been collecting vinyl for over 10 years and have a collection of about 2000 albums, give or take a few. My musical taste lean towards Classic/Indie Rock but I... Jeb has reviewed 11 other Records. |
