Can you find them all? Read on and see how you did.The hotly anticipated release comes amid the thick heat haze of Mercury retrograde in Aries, a time when the re- prefix is emphasized and we reimagine the past, revise our self-concepts, and revisit the muck and the mire of failed relationships, to discover the kernels of wisdom buried in the burning buildings of romantic ruin.In essence and ashes, this album is the smoking, stillborn delivery of a doomed love story.
