This is a concept album based on a short story that the lead singer wrote. It tells the story of Cerpin Taxt, who overdoses on rat poison and morphine. I got all this from the Wikipedia page, not the album. You can't really get that from the lyrics, so it's a concept album only if you already know the concept.
We are left with a pretty pretentious album with irritating vocals. Even the album cover is annoying, and they aren't even doing anything original.
One month before the album was released, one of the founding members of the band was found dead of a heroin overdose in his apartment. So I guess they knew what they were talking about.
RATING: 2/5
