I'm inclined to agree with Tom on this. I'd have to say I think this album sounds kind of like Consumed 1.1... Some parts of it are pretty rad (I like "Ping Pong," "Mind In Rewind," etc) but I really don't think he broke any new ground with this album and at the same time he didn't return to the acid sound like I was hoping. "Consumed" was a great album, but really stood out because it was so new and original. If this had been Sheet 1.1 instead, I really would've been feeling it more. -- :: atomly :: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.atomly.com ...
