so it might be a bit less electronic than last album ...
according to this review ... |
Thanks for finding all this stuff, HMcH, HtS, and PE!
This particular review struck me as really weird because the words suggest (with great enthusiasm and no negativity) a 9 or 10/10 score ... but the score they give is a 7.
Go figure!  |

@brightonian
I had the same impression ... he should have rated 8/10
at least |

That's what I thought, you go the effort of finding a word from every letter of the alphabet and then give a 7, bizarre
Thanks to HM for the review finding |

You never know what editorial policies can be behind these rating decisions |
