"Undeniably, the sonic output is quite mesmerizing, yet I find myself at odds with the lyrical content. It grates on my senses to such an extent that any attempt at a second listening becomes an exercise in futility. The words seem to channel the musings of a 13-year-old grappling with the enormit..."
