    The album's understated bleakness could be less uniform and more dynamic, but it's still a pleasant listening experience.

    Closer in style to The End of History than Shadow of An Empire, this one see's FR go back to a more acoustic based folk style. There is a long more strings and orchestration going on here than ever before. It has some really beautiful songs on it. It is probably the weakest of his 3 records, but the standard is very high with this artist. This record takes a bit of time to get into but once you get it, your well rewarded.… Expand
