    This band had a lot of sick ideas on The End of the World album. I don't care much for Beta State or Eric's new band.

    Aw, I miss these guys! Strata presents... has been on loop in my house for the past week, and I doubt any of their projects will put out something quite like that again. But here's hoping I'm wrong, of course :)

    Changed opinion, both albums are masterpieces in their own ways.
