After a promising, but mistreated for the production, debut album and a sequel much more mature and finished, comes this third effort of the dark band Mekong Delta.

The sound is much better than in the fisrt two albums, but still can improve. Anyway, the dark and dull sound contributes to make stronger the oppressive atmosphere of the most of the tracks. Even though this album doesn't tell a story from the begining to the end as 'The Music Of Erich Zann' did, there is a guiding line that joins all the lyrics matter, the music, and even the artwork, making a masterly whole effect.

A Really original creation that may surprise those that doesn't know about this unfairly underated band.
