mmm...
i think, to me it seemed they had so many ideas and not enough time to
develop them properly. just when i though "this could lead to something
beautiful" they dropped it and started something else. sometimes i felt
that they were showing off a bit too much, "look how many wickedly crazy
things we can do to sounds and melodies!", and in the process lost sight of
what is beautiful and what is merely interesting. right, that's it, it's
not beautiful enough. to me, of course.

this is not to say that i didn't LIKE it, it's just that i didn't like it
as much as, say, "garbage ep" and "peel session".
