Chosen by buzz magazine as the #1 local release of 2008:

Gates has outdone himself, crafting a collection of the most aggressively tempered and vividly memorable tunes to grace CU music yet... Gates has done what many of his genre can't, drenching his tunes with samples, electronic beats, and jarring juxtapositions of sounds while still preserving the more organic art and charm of songwriting.
