Spectrum Culture

Behind the Wallpaper is the most entertaining avant-garde operetta about late-night buses, nuclear power plants, jeweled masks and a town with fishes in their mouths you’re ever going to hear.

Incredibly tedious.

A very interesting composition and story, it lacks a certain wow factor to it but it was interesting nonetheless for those with the itch of Musical/Conceptual albums. Spektral Quarter is fantastic in this.

While it is beautiful, I wanted a dramatic production and vocals which i unfortunately did not get.
