It has an odd, surreal vibe to it, almost like you’re hearing it from afar, rather than up close and personal. It’s a sound that should be impossible to pull off on a heavy metal track, yet here it is. My favorite part starts at about 1:57, with the distorted violin riff, backed up by an even more heavily distorted electric guitar.

By Michael Guy Bowman. Featuring Thomas Ferkol on electric guitar

For a song called ‘irreconcilable’, that combination of western acoustic guitar (Tavros) and electric (Vriska) seems pretty damn reconcilable. The horn at the end seems a little played out by now though – that damn juggalo’s everywhere.

Call me a traditionalist, but I like this track better in reverse. It’s not just some previous track played backwards: it’s an original composition, all the way through (a very symphonic reimagining of Clockwork Melody).

The reversed play fits the album theme, but makes it tough to listen to.

Play the track in reverse, and it’s a cool crescendo of a song all the way through, with a different take on a familiar melody to boot. Yeah, I know, I’m missing the point, but I just can’t swing that abstract.
