...This past Wednesday when I was able to bring my seven-year-old cousin Henry, with his awe-filled eyes, to the clinching game of the World Series triumph over the Braves, the heroes stood taller than Paul Bunyan again. When Jim Leyritz, savior of the '96 series, came to bat in the eighth inning, Henry clasped his hands together in prayer and asked the sky "Can he hit another home run?" As the ball sailed over the left center field fence, Henry knew there were deities of the baseball diamond, and that they understood fate...
...Through a series of tragic events, both girls become enemies as opposing priestesses in an ensuing war between two enemy nations. As the story unfolds, it becomes a soap opera of epic proportions. What struck me most was the attention given to character development and relationships.

This twisted dichotomy of harsh, realistic lines and dreamy background music is fascinating in the first tract, but becomes a bit monotonous after appearing incessantly throughout the album. If you're able to get past the tedious three-minute instrumental introductions of each track, powerful lines such as, "What good is ones toil underneath the sun?/that same indifferent sphere gave birth to the shadows/where we count the days off by headlines on the morning paper" (from "Seizures") are sure to move...
