"God...seriously, this album blows my fucking mind with every listen. Somnambulist Suite makes me wanna cry, it's that good!"
frizbee"Are you kidding me? The Somnambulist Suite blew my mind. I don't know what the hell took me so long to jump onto you guys. I agree with what someone else has said, about Somnambulist Suite being it's own EP. Release it, and i'll buy it. Everything from the Album art to the end of "China White Heartbreak" sends chills down my spine.
Keep up the awesome work!"
"Fait Accompli has done it again. Another Great album. "Games of Chance", "China White Heartbreak" and "Confessor" are very powerful songs. Keep it Up, guys."
Tyman"Don't think I can say it any better than Eric & frizbee already have. This is a great album. So great that my eloquence momentarily escapes me."
theHoseman"This album is the reason why Fait Accompli were signed to RA Records. Any expectations for this album have been completely shattered because Fait has gone far and beyond them. Tracks like "Auto-Neurotica" and "Artemis" are heavy and dark like black velvet drapes, and the chronicle "The Somnambulist Suite" is the beautiful gothic mansion that they hang in. Some may say that the bonus track "China White Heartbreak" doesn't fit the overall theme of the album, but I defy them to not put it on repeat"
frizbee"Let me be the first to say that Fait Accompli is back! Oh it's true that they never really went away, but the occasional collaboration (thanks Eccentric Arcade) by Aaron was not enough for us serious Fait Heads. We want an entire album, and on "Gallows Hill" Fait delivers. Songs like "Revelation Roll", "Artemis" and "Confessor" are some of the best the band has ever recorded, but it's the use of an orchestra on "The Somnambulist Suite" that really puts this album over the top!
