10 very good songs on this album. I'll skip the bonus rack 11 when listening again. I guess Devin got a lot of negativity out of his system in this period, and then started focusing a lot on his recent uplifting music.

Just...Just check Imperial with Skeksis. Are they really human being? I'm stunned.

Strapping Young Lad violently catapults heavy, chaotic sounds at a persistent manner, and it may drive you nuts.
