The first track, Firewall, is actually pretty decent. Slow buildup, some cool atmospheric things going on. I dig it.

Banging first five seconds of "Jejune Stars," and then...downhill again

More samples on "Approximate Sunlight," probably the only redeeming feature of this album so far. Song still sucks.
