...disc could have easily been a lighter and more pleasant affair had the band not taken such a deeply self-serious attitude. Somewhere in between listing their songs alphabetically rather than in track order on the front cover and recording with the Slovak Radio Orchestra, they forgot to endow their music with any sign of levity or vivacity.
