The album feels ethereal while at the same time chaotic and unbearable. It’s a perfect balance between the two and is also a great transitional point between Schlagenheim and Hellfire.
I was interested in this album because of the concept of it. A man essentially trying to find out the history of his family and past, and realizing how demented it truly is. So I decided to randomly listen to it last night. The moment that first song started going completely insane was the moment I started to realize that this album was going to be a journey. I’ve never had an album instantly hook me this easily from the moment I listened to it for the first time.

So I heard of Sparks and thought they sounded interesting, and I decided to listen to this album. It’s really great and makes me feel as if I’m floating, especially with Russell Mael’s ethereal voice, like he can take that falsetto to the sky. Great album, would recommend, and I would like to look more into what Sparks has to offer.
