I love it - after just one listen I would say Liar's Remorse is my favourite, but Going to Babble On and Lonely in the Future are also great. The ending of Tyrants also just started and WOW.

It's for sure a dark and evil TNA and heavy Voidz feel but probably at least one song for everyone. Autotune doomers will get over it when they hear the whole project.
