2 stars Jump into water instantly, without introduction, because that's how it's like to listen this album. So this review won't have intro. However, this can actually be considered as intro. D'oh.

Example of bad track would be ...Bogus Journey, heavy, but not giving anything except showcasing of easy jamming, using of instruments without higher purpose. Limited, hypnotic, but somehow bad. Good tracks are for example something like Hot Rod which provides something better, even I'm quite unsure what.

Sadly, most of songs are like case number 1, too overlong and simply empty. Void. It's not unpleasant to listen to them, it's simply uninteresting. Can be good as background music when you don't want to think about it, but not as real meant album. I suppose that boys have had a lot of fun while making this, because that's what this is about, album made by them, for them. This jamming isn't bad, but how can this be appealing, when this hasn't anything to offer. Not even for Jam lovers, because this is way too stripped of all rhythms and melodies, these songs aren't progressing or graduating, they just flows in the same pace, same course, same direction.

It's heartless album, but not dark. It's not cold beauty (like 2009 motW release), it's nothing. Not offensive, not offering.

2(+), I've heard worse albums, but the lack of soul in this strikes me a lot.
