"Darin is a rare soul who possesses a talent for most every aspect of music production. Solitarium is full of rich harmonies and eerie melodies which weave in and out of the conscious seamlessly. Each and every track is well thought and full of texture, although most tracks are performed by Darin alone. Yes, it's true, most everything you hear, instruments to backing vocals to post production, is Darin. From "Sermon on Mars" (my personal favorite)and "Big Pink Glasses," we hear psychadelic lyrics with serious pop roots. "Prison Break" and "She's Better Than Me" are extremely clever lyrically and musically comanding. Each track is better than the previous track culminating with the powerful "15 Minutes." For Darin, he deserves a lot more than 15 minutes."
