There is a certain undefinable sense of depression and gloom exuded from this
entire album. I'm not sure if I've heard such an disconcerting gothic act in
quite some time. Just listening to the first several songs are enough to drag
me into abject misery. Apparently Gossamer have been misinterpreting the
melancholy side of gothic music quite a bit. Generally it is consider a bad
idea to oppress your audience into a coma like state. Musically the programming
favors the heavy use of strings and other airy elements, while the guitar
plucks the heart strings out of all but the most vigorous. Now if the vocalist
would lighten up a bit, one might at least be able to bear the burden of
hopelessness incurred, instead of suffocating from the doldrums.
