Overall, the lyrics are not overwhelmingly striking, but they certainly resonate with human experience. Pivot Clowj's strength is not in imagery so much as in narrative, be it about life situations, imagined conversations, or internal thought processes. The main stumbling block here seems to be a lack of passion. The sweet irony that draws me to electronica and industrial is its ability to reach deep into my humanity. Pivot Clowj does not appear to have latched onto this quality.
Melody lines drone on, often consisting of just two pitches.
Vocals do not generally sound as though they are invested with much emotion. Songs go on for too long, using the same loops, beating the life out of themselves by excessive repetition. Most tracks do not suffer from all these problems simultaneously, but they all seem to leave listeners feeling a little hollow. Its progressive buildup is promising, but it leaves off before reaching a satisfactory climax. It features one of the strongest vocals of the CD, musically speaking, but even that barely registers a real heartbeat.
