Coming out tomorrow in select European countries and everywhere else the beginning of October, I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on it so I decided to listen to one of the leaks of the album and write my initial thoughts on a track-by-track basis to share, much like what I did for Nine Inch Nails’ Year Zero years back.

On Your Radar: Mental Drift [UPDATED]
Tucked away in the corner of the third floor of the Seattle Convention Center, not far from Popcap’s rollicking booth, was a curious little title called “Mental Drift”, a platformer from Lo and Behold Games that incorporates its narrative into the actual gameplay by having you select various words from the protagonist’s interior monologue and using them to navigate the environment and solve puzzles.
