But so often the cd after just disappoints me. Just like The Complex Bewitchment. It's still good, well played and great sound, but it's just not as original. There are some good songs on it, but it just doesn't keep interesting for an entire album. And about the artwork: Nothing wrong with naked chicks, but with the weird make-up and the dead black animal on her head she looks more ridiculous than exciting... Rating: 7 out of 10
