As it is, I was a little disappointed. I wanted to rate songs higher, but I just couldn't. But in the end, most tracks leave something to be desired. I was never able to really sit back and enjoy this album without being jarred by details that were simply left unattended. What Sermons and Soda Water needed more than anything is a stronger producer.
Solos range from relatively impressive to slightly weak.
To be fair, they tend to lean significantly towards the good side. But like everything else on the album, inconsistency is the Jabberwocks' plague. Back-ups are often choppy, unmusical, uncreative or inappropriate. On this review, more than any other, I have had great difficulty rating the songs. Sometimes one element is simply fantastic while other elements are bad enough to detract significantly.
