An album that is part 2 of a two hour and twenty-five minute endeavor: would it surprise you to hear that the pacing's not that tight?
There's just not a lot of interesting ideas here, musically, lyrically, structurally. True Blood's the one exception: nine and a half minutes of twisty Thriller-inspired cranking around. The lyrics are goofy, but little flourishes, breakdowns, chopped laughs, dark ride swerves keep you entertained.
But so many of the songs would have been halfassed at three and a half and are downright fucking boring at seven. I'm looking at my watch at the halfway point of songs like Amnesia and Only When I Walk Away. Smash this into part 1 and there *might* be a really good album in the block of marble 2.5/5
