With a sound that flows both thick as syrup and hauntingly hollow, Hoffman knows no limits on the 12-track disc.
Most tunes reflect pungent, bitter feelings of rejection and painful emptiness.
Characteristic acrid vocals lead the downward tonal spiral as the song truly does bleed from beginning to end. She creates the impression with callously mixed drum, guitar and electronic distortion that the listener also can experience her pain. The album's strongest asset, however, is its ability to change gears. While bitterness unquestionably is the dominant theme on this angst-ridden album, the music often regresses into soft sections that create a lasting, powerful sense of irony. The tune, whose theme continues the freefall theme of the album, resonates a complete beauty.
