Reception

edit

Aiding & Abetting said "meandering through the experimental electronic universe, Black Rain makes many stops but never really puts down roots."[2] Sonic Boom said the album "is much like its predecessor in that it was written primarily as a soundtrack style album" and "however upon further examination one notices a number of departures from their debut album."[3]
