Who said we should imagine Sysiphos as a happy man? I don’t remember, but he probably has “crash symbols” on his ipod while rolling that rock up that hill. (...) Rarely will you hear an album with so many indirect and direct variations of lost love, broken love, frustrated love, dead and dying love, desperate love and bleak and terrible love. (...)it is definitely an album worth listening to an eleventh time and then some more, because to some people it will easily jump over the “interesting” treshold, and become a wonderfully illustrated roadmap to the human mind. Because, after all and despite of all the desperation, the spark of hope in mankind and the possibility of love is always there, hidden deep and fading, but without it, all of this would sound completely different."
