A proverbial menagerie of guest vocalists alone make this album worth acquiring
by diehard fans. The utilization of both modern instrumentation alongside
classical accompaniment creates a unique sound quite unlike anything else I've
had the pleasure of listening too. To the untrained musical ear such as myself
you might accuse them of actually composing music as opposed to letting the
machinations of man do all of the work and I might actually be correct, but
being musically inept I can't be quite sure. However, even with this plethora
of talent and the multitude of tracks present on the album a few songs do end
up songing remarkably similar. In a few places there almost identical percussion
for the track lead in and the vocalist sounds horrendously flat and monotonous.
However even these few flaws do not detract from the overall performance of the
album.
