Glad to hear from some of the other reviewers. You all see, I'm not a complete and isolated freak after all!

Another listen tonight while cleaning my apartment, a few hits, and a few beers, and I'm still not nearly impressed as most of the people reading this.

I haven't given up: HOB took a few listenings, but I eventually came to love Anaesthesia, Ricochet, and Tranquility. Another song that I have grown to love is Decadence. But, none of those songs took this long to like.

I hope I find a few personal gems in 23, but what I continue to hear is the sound of skipping to the next track. I do like Pangea more now, but Cobalt continues to be a disappointing opening, which to me anyway, sets the stage for the rest of the album.
