Classic crooning with a low-fidelity touch from the KILL SWITCH CLICK frontman, Sebasstian toughens ups his tender voice with distorted guitars and crazy synth warbles, but keeps things approachable with subtle melodic accents. d.A. gets bonus points for the oh-so cheeky Isabella Rossellini: "Isabella Rossellini in a blood red Lamborghini, driving hard like Steve McQueenie". Nice! At a few points the production does feels a bit canned, but Sebasstian's classic voice carries us through moments of dull instrumentation. On the whole, I would say that this is fairly inspired work, with Sebasstian being responsible for the arrangement, production, and most of the playing.
