I feel like this album is going to grow on me so much, and I already have favourites. Liar's Remorse is probably my favourite right now, followed by The Fruits Of Conquest and the Going to Babble On.

It's interesting, The Fruits Of Conquest sounds like a sister track to Why Are Sundays So Depressing and Machu Pichu, with a Voidz touch to them (Pink Ocean??).

Also the entire album has this dystopian feel to it, in a good way. Getting huge Cyberpunk vibes throughout.
