In every song there is at least one point, the flashes and lets in the musical potential of the band. This is not done by the admittedly amateurish production destroyed, although it makes it a beginning not easy. So I needed at time of debut most Hördurchgänge to decide: Do you like it or not? At the end of the strong songs and as the previous speaker won already remarked: The album unfolds a special charm.
As for the songs: On the one hand there is the unbridled and loud, on the other hand the dreamy and quiet. You sometimes still thinks at first listen of "Richter Scale Madness" to mere noise, you will be taught with "Novena Without Faith", "Gargoyle Waiting" and "When We Begin To Steal" a lesson. Check not nice to hear is the keyword. Suddenly the simpler at first glance songs turn out to be real gems, whose existence is fully justified. No song is too much, the album acts around.
So: Do not put off by the production. It may sound trite, the album unfolds really slow and slower than all his successors. 4 stars because the true exploits of the band to come.
