Holding Mercury
Downfall of an Empire
5/10

What a horribly boring experience. It’s not bad, which makes it worse. I can’t tear it apart because it’s not bad, it’s just utterly boring. I have no feelings one way or another on it. The only thing I can say that is negative about it is that the cover art is atrocious. Like, really bad- it’s some chick holding herself and crying while a helicopter’s searchlights shine on a decrepit city? I expected shitty screamo, but what I got was apathetic bar rock. Over it. I’m moving on with my life.
