Separated from its once-intriguing surroundings, Wolves' music feels listless and dull-- music doing its best to get by on size, not strength or sound. It's not compelling. At least it's listenable.
The visceral and harsh discordant vocals and instrumentation on this their third album are difficult to tolerate for this reviewer.
