Comments: My major gripe about electronic music is that it can be super boring. Tell me that “Angel Echoes” is exciting in at least one way. It’s not at all. It did keep me on the edge only because I was waiting for it to get better. That’s why it got a D and not an F. Filler on the fourth track? Damn, such a trick doesn’t work too well on critics who grade every song. I might as well spill my guts on this one because I can’t really say anything positive. To be considered for a “C” range, some sort of thought of “maybe I’ll play this one again later” must come to my head. If it doesn’t, that’s where Ds and Fs come in. All right so the last song is pretty bearable, just so y’all know. It’s not fun, it’s just bearable.

Grade: D (66)
