Review
Devin is back w a standalone album after his 4-cd project which included Ki, Addict, Deconstruction n Ghost. Its still wellknown high-quality DT songs, which means well produced, good melodies, lotsa layers n flawless musicianship.
I think Anneke Van Giersbergens' voice suits the music very well, both when she does the lead vocal n when she choiring. I read somewhere that DT said he had incorporated more commercial structures in his music, but that doesnt mean its poppish, just not that heavy songs, even though u do find some industrial passages in a couple of the songs. All in all a very good album, which will get lotsa spins in my playlist.
The bonus cd includes only demo tracks.
