Very competent fusion of emo songwriting with Industrial rock, from what seems to be a home-grown, self-released project. Tremolo-effected vocals in the first track "Forever Alone" is a nice touch, and a bit of fuzz-guitar riffing on "Desiderium", the following song, helps Jinn transcend their genre's inevitable NIN/Pink Floyd ancestry. Track number five, "I Am No Better", is exceptional, not just because of the murky movie samples (which some of us miss terribly, from the olden days), but also because it successfully pairs Floydian plainsong vocal harmonies with a bouncy, driving dance-rock beat. The last track, "Omnia Vanitus," seems to carry a Christian message, which (if I am hitting the mark, regarding this band) is thankfully not too-too-too preachy in tone.

Next time there should be a few more interesting chord changes, and perhaps some different vocal arrangements and techniques. And as far as overall mood is concerned, the capital-A angst in their chosen genre is by this time severely overplayed (and dated). Otherwise, nice stuff.
