This album is a little uneven. While the first four tracks bear a strong resemblance to
contemporary British alt rock, the last three tracks are pretty much rooted in Archive’s
trip-hop past. However, the songs in between them are highlights of the album for me.
“Fold” is a gorgeous, piano laden pop song, chosen for the second single. The title track
is a stunning 18+ minute post rock opus that manages to be entertaining throughout its
whole time, and while the last 5 minutes drag on a little, it’s the best composition
Archive ever recorded. There’s also the first single, “System”, an ear catching little
angry song that got me hooked to this album in first place.
The rest is decent enough to give it a listen once in a while, though nothing to rave
about.
