AP2, formerly known as Argyle Park, is here with a new album. Suspension Of Disbelief is mainly a Level and Buka CD with two songs written by Klayton (My Sympathies and Resurrection Of The Ravens). On this CD you can hear metal, hardcore, punkrock and dance, poured over with an industrial sauce. The first track seems to start off rather mellow, though dark at the same time. But then, after more than two minutes, the distorted guitars break loose. My Sympathies is a breakbeat arrangement with Mark Salomon from Stavesacre doing some of the vocals. A fast house-beat (190 bpm) with an industrial twist to the music can be heard in Silhouette Of Rage while A New Wound seems to go along the lines of Nine Inch Nails. Resurrection Of The Ravens however is a clear dance-track. So, this album is pretty much a potpourri of styles with that industrial sauce. Some stuff I really dig.

HM Magazine #83Reviewed by David BixlerFor a long time now, rumors have been circulating that "The Park" would reopen. Well, finally, after much patience and waiting, the Park has reopened, but with a new direction and edge that is both fresh and exciting. Argyle Park has transformed into AP2, and an exciting transformation it is. The first Argyle Park release drew many comparisons to Circle of Dust, primarily because of Klay Scott's…The Phantom Tollbooth 2000Reviewed by Michial FarmerA few years ago, there was a Christian industrial band named Argyle Park. They sold a modest number of CDs on the now-infamous R.E.X Music, then, after being let down by the label, disbanded. There weren't many people who ever expected them to release another album, but they have, with a new name, AP2, and a new label, Tooth & Nail Records. Suspension of Disbelief begins quietly, with a single…Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by GrindboySorry guys, not even close. This is a noble effort and all, but contrary to the propaganda on their website, this sequel is but a shadow of the original Argyle Park. Not bad at all, but so. . . unremarkable. I've got a whole stash of cd's in my collection that are more or less this exact same sound, and there's nothing here to really make it stand out. It's like they tried to take everything that…Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by D_ListerWhat is it about this CD that doesn't click with me? I don't know it's hard to exactly put my finger on. Is it the lack of heart? The lack of excitement? The lack of desire? Well maybe it's parts of all that. Just seems to me like this was a half-hearted attempt to create something out of the ashes of a previous success. "Igor turn the machine on, it's time to make another typical album." hmmm…Similar sounding releases
