Notable Quotes

❝ Not bad at all.

❝ Wednesday 13 confirms himself as very skilled in writing catchy choruses that can carve into the mind from the first listen, but this time increases the dose of introspection, an element that makes "Skeletons" an extremely intriguing work, though not suited for everyone’s tastes: the Marilyn Manson-like vocalizations (the artist who fooled us all), in fact, remain and may lead astray those encountering Wednesday 13 for the first time.
