Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step: 
Overall, the feel to Sianspheric is mellow and trippy. The long breaks in between lyrics with noise and distortion captivated the audience. However, the vocals could be a lot clearer as they turned into indistinguishable mumbling. The tracks sound evily sexy.

Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step:
I dare you to play some tracks out the window on Halloween night. Bets down, parents would be frightened at some parts. It's pretty damn eerie. And at some point, they played a song that sounded like the meow mix commercial. It feels like everything else is going fast-forward and Sianspheric are in slow-mo.
