3 stars So promising, yet in the end so disappointing. It couldn't be more different (complete opposite I would say) of what my dear colleague (who I highly regard), lazland, think. My story was very similar to the one of OneLiner, one of the previous reviewers - I was highly anticipating this release (on a strength of names involved alone), but was so disappointed that the result impression is even worse because of so high anticipation. But nevertheless, to put it frankly, this album is so boring. Repetition all over the place, quite dark rock at times (which is not bad thing, as long as it done right), hypnotic rhythms are OK, but the best working song is Across the Plains, which is unfortunately one of the shortest songs here.

But the funniest thing is that AtP song is just a beginning of "second side" (I suppose we can call it like that), which is actually quite a good bunch of tunes. Pity that many listeners won't feel convinced or compelled enough to fare that long to bear with terrible first part (NIN like Outerspaced too, but there is one good song - atmospheric Spiralling).

But I cannot bear myself to be that harsh, because second part quite counterweights the terrible first one. 3(+)
