Webomatica (Free subscription) | 11/20/2008
Cruel Inventions finds Sam exploring an experimental, adventurous sound combined with focused, direct lyrics. Besides "love and loss" Sam delves into socially conscious subject matter with abstract, evocative imagery. It's a progression from the previous Indescribable Wow.
