I know that Klayton refers to fans who make critical comments as "haters," but I have to be honest here: this just sounds overproduced and busy. Songs don't flow because every spare moment is jammed with a dubstep sound effect loop, so just when a melody hits its cadence it gets cut off for more "wub wub wub WUUB WUUB wubba!" synth emissions. I guess dubstep fans will dig it, but I came into Celldweller after following from Circle of Dust to Argyle Park to AP2 to now, based on my love of harder industrial stuff. That's what I want in my Celldweller, and it's been left behind. On a personal note, BOY do I wish Klayton would take a step back to industrial, call up Klank again, and rock out like before. It'll never happen, but the whole dubstep/endless remixes fad just leaves me cold. (and how many more versions of "Goodbye" are we gonna get?).
