"Rasputina is in a category all their own. They are refreshingly different and talented. Melora's voice is unique, the way it falters and shakes, as if always on the verge of tears. I would recommend this album if you are just getting in Rasputina. They have such archaic grace when it comes to how they present their music. Each song introduces you into a new realm. A story unfolds as each note and word is heard. "The New Zero" is one of my favorites, it begins with the trilling cellos and does let up. "The Girls of Birkenau" is amazing, i never tire of listening to it. Other great songs include "Dwarfstar", "Signs of the Zodiac", "How we Quit the Forest",and "Watch TV". Though the whole album is brilliant, those are my favorites. Many people consider Rasputina to be goth, but they are too unprecedented and gifted to be categorized."
