Musical Personnel

Reception

Kevin Quinn of Music-News.com gave the album five stars.[7] James Bennett of SLUG Magazine praised the album yet found it difficult to describe saying "Every track is an adventure, and every adventure is full of more twists and turns than could ever be reasonably anticipated."[8] Chattanooga Pulse described it as "a true joy of creation with expansive, genuinely stirring rock numbers."[9]

gollark: I think that means... board issues or issues with RAM.
gollark: The tooling is much better now.
gollark: Which is technically possible, with WebAssembly, just somewhat less network-utilization-efficient.
