Il debutto di Vinnie Dombroski & co. ha l'aria devastata.

Il tema ricorrente della tracklist è una pesantezza di fondo, un'ancora che ti tiene giù.

Un oceano che ti calpesta.

Le ballads Giants e Rainin' ne sono un esempio, ma anche in parte il singolo Plowed, con l'acceleratore tirato al massimo; una belva lasciata libera finalmente. Sommersi dal suono.

L'opener Pennywheels chiede tremante: "Sai come ci si sente ad essere spogliati, per terra?"

E anche quando uno spiraglio ti fa scorgere la luce, si ha paura di chiedere il perché delle cose (Molly).

Disco debitore nelle tematiche e nell'arrangiamento, in parte, ad un certo segmento del filone rock anni '90 (ma che grunge e grunge...).

Abrasivo, striscia e corre verso l'abisso.

Consigliatissimo.

Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
What will change us or will we mess up
our only chance to connect with a dream

(chorus)
Say a prayer for me
''Say a prayer for me''
Say a prayer for me

Say a prayer for me
''Say a prayer for me''
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage X2
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

To see wide open with a head that's broken
Hang a life on some tragedy
Plow me under the ground
That covers the message
That is the seed

(chorus)
Say a prayer for me
''Say a prayer for me''
Say a prayer for me

Say a prayer for me
''Say a prayer for me''
I'm buried by the sound
Of a world of human wreckage
In a world of human wreckage X2
Where i'm lost and I'm found and I can't touch the ground
I'm plowed into the sound

Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality

10   Rotting Piñata (04:00)

get on the rodeo that is
your life
beat on me
spill my insides out on
the ground
cut on me
i will go when i say die
i will rot away
like a rotting piñata

see my soul
it cuts a hole in the sky
standing near
watch the birds eat out my
eyes
it will rot away
like a rotting piñata

here lies this junk of me
here lies this wreck that
was me
oh god help me rot
i don't look quite the
same
grab my beating heart
tear it from this broken
cage today

i'm rotting
i'm coloring
i'm red and black
i'm twice my size
don't cry for me
just pull the plug
and let me fly

i will rot away
like a rotting piñata

11   Giants (05:20)
