CAUGHT AND LOST

Loss of a Child step up with this one. The sound quality is still horrible, and the electronic drums still annoy beyond belief, but the songwriting and experimenting has improved. I'm sure if this was recorded in a proper studio under a vaster deal, than it would sound much better, and gain much more attention. But, unfortunately, it still has a bit of the "made in my basement" type of sound to it. The piano is still played on the really high notes, as to try and provoke some sort of emotional response - but the result is still unsuccessful. However, there is more experimenting, and the effects thrown in blindly (it seemed) are not as encumbering, and only appear during the more Brian Eno style sections. Unfortunately, it still lacks spice, energy, and the false passionate delivery is lackluster.
