"Very much like Melophobia. There is not a track here I dislike, very fun, just not amazing. Though, definitely not 170th for 2015." Reply
"There's a review that criticizes these songs as mere character sketches in which "very little happens." If that's what you're taking away from these songs, you're just not listening. I've said it before, but his ability to create a whole world in four minutes is masterful." Reply
