Like most good goth albums, this Eric Clayton-produced project must be listened to with quality headphones. From the intro, through the last dark, fulfilling note, my ears were awash with pleasure. Sheri Watters' voice is more than sufficiently strong for this music, and having Clayton also do some vocals doesn't hurt. All of Jamie McCavanaugh and William Watters' bottomless guitars lend the appropriate mood, and Watters has as much real emotion and passion in his vocals as his wife does. The second song, "Even You," seems to have more of a dare I say pop melody, but lest you think this is some Christians-without-a-clue goth project, my distinct impression is that there is enough originality, edge, and depth on here to stand right up to the mainstream.
