DeBaser hosts two appreciative reviews of Scott Kelly's solo acoustic albums, highlighting stark, apocalyptic imagery and intimate singer-songwriter performances. Reviewers praise the emotional depth and spare arrangements of Spirit Bound Flesh and The Wake. Kelly is presented as Neurosis's guitarist/vocalist exploring de-electrified, deeply personal music.

For:Fans of Neurosis, listeners of post-hardcore who appreciate intimate acoustic and singer-songwriter music.

 A voice and a guitar, guitar and voice, seven acoustic ballads, thirty-four minutes: these are the numbers of “The Wake”, which only on a couple of occasions is tainted by the poised electricity of a slide guitar (by Frank Sullivan), while Daemon Kelly is credited on bass, without his instrument disrupting the coordinates of a work that remains the superhuman effort of a man and his guitar.

 Nothing but his voice, at times whispered, at times clearer and brighter, accompanied by an acoustic guitar and very little else.
