DragonDeathCab

A sophisticated and lush ode to 60s pop music filled with Beatlesque melodies and strong, accomplished production that makes all 10 tracks, despite it's short length, never feel unfinished or unrealized. A true gem.

The tracks that do work (Wilson [Expensive Mistakes], Church, Last of the Real Ones and the closer Bishop's Knife Trick) keeps M A N I A from being a complete disaster, but large chunks of this record is just utter cacophony; All the sound and fury but nothing compelling underneath.

The only thing R Kelly admits to is that he has lost all sense of good judgement and good taste as an artist.
