My only complaint so far is a rather uniform atmosphere haunting the second and third songs, make them bleed together, where a song like "Hypersurreal" takes the vocals on a different trip through space, and lends itself to more dynamic motion. The darker shade of ambiance add to a more morose mood that I find more pleasing. Rob cries out that he is all alone and it is believable given the stormy tension that had been haunting the song up to this point. While surreal sample narrated interludes break things up, there is a hypnotic throbbing vibe that causes a great deal of this album to glide on past in a haze of reverb soaking up Rob's vocals. There is a cool slithering riff that works a descending pattern to carry the bulk of " Morphing"
Things take the hardest turn into psychedelia with "Obliterating Mists". It ranges from the darker moments of Pink Floyd's dystopian musings to soundings like two bands that just got stoned and jammed. Due to the songs sometimes hot boxing themselves into bong beaten trance, I am going to give this album a 9.which puts it head and shoulders above the meanders of most stoner rock bands who are tripping their nuts off, but I do not feel it's as good as REZN's last album, which is a pretty high bar for what this is it's pretty cool and worth a listen then next time 420 hits the clock.
