Firstly I do not like the cover. This looks like the women that appear during my sleep paralyses that stand at the end of my bed and reach for me with their long, inhumane fingers. I always wake up just before they reach my face but find myself with chapped lips in the morning. After the first song I was worried Matt Noonan over here was going to ruin the album. I was pleasantly surprised after that. The new wave and punk songs stand out as the best with a few WTF moments during the carnival songs. I rather like this but am hard pressed to think of a mood that would cause me to want to listen again.
