The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states "As usual, Taylor's music wasn't for the squeamish or those who desire nicely ordered, predictable material. It required intense concentration and attention from both performers and audience".[2]

Personnel

gollark: My laptop uses linux and full disk encryption, making the password actually mean something.
gollark: Although I think full-disk encryption should probably be the default now, like it is for phones.
gollark: That doesn't make Windows broken. Stopping an OS from doing weird things if someone deliberately works around it by booting up another one to edit files isn't a huge concern.
gollark: Cool mesh networking thing: https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
gollark: I think my server has a 10-year-old SAS disk but I don't know anything about it because obviously no SMART.
