This is a bit of a shocking listen....overtly arty and emotional and quite compelling. A couple of listens reveal a lot of interesting musical and lyrical details that invite further exploration. My first listen left me confused, my 2nd listen left me intrigued and looling forward to at least another immersive listen. THIS IS NOT background music, this is music that takes time and commitment and hopefully reveals an artistic statement that is worthy of yur attention. I suspect it will. 3.5 stars
