I use a pair of Logitech G930 wireless headphones. They're 2.4GHz, not bluetooth so there's lots of bandwidth to push audio. 7.1 simulation if you like which is actually very impressive and the bass hits hard. I wanted wireless, good, and not bluetooth and these do it. Controls are on the left ear ...

By definition, the album is anything but under whelming. Whether or not you like it, you can't disagree with that.

that sentence doesn't make sense.

I don't understanding the "underwhelming." He's not the only one that's said that.

The listener is actually quite whelmed with this record. Perhaps he should spend less time editing and more time listening?

This x2. This track is incredible. To me, it's very frightening. I like that.

Most definitely Semena Mertvykh. Going with the term bleak, it is by far their bleakest moment at least from the emotional reaction I have from it. It's also up on the top of the list in my own personal catalog of dark ambient tracks.

It's downright haunting. It's total loss.

I OVERFLOW MAN

So, maybe the "I" is Earth and she is overflowing with mankind which is killing her and in turn, us. Global overpopulation.

That's what I had think first too...

an interesting take.

i was reading it as "i overflow, maaaaaaan." do people in the UK even say "man" like that ...

One of the first tracks that stood out. I left it knowing I'd have to come back. Been listening to it on heavy repeat over the last couple of days. Fantastic track and another favourite.

It's assertive and somewhat hopeful.

It seems that way unless you go by the track title.
