It's funny how best of these "dark" bands (Cold as life, Blood for Blood, Neglect, etc) manage to touch similar subjects with slightly different outlook and approach. I think in this album CAL summarizes something really inherent in personal struggle, looming depression and fear. The soundscape in the album (especially tracks like ten to midnight, police) to me express this ridiculously dim and safeless feeling of urban horror. Reality where no one is safe and everything from family relationships to your own sanity is uncertain.

This tirade may be hard to understand if you didn't see the band live during this certain line-up. The songs really don't sound the same on shitty computer speakers
