| | Ink 19 :: Diary Of Dreams |
 | | Madness, hatred, vengeance, and dark transmogrification are the canvasses used by Adrian Hates for the sonic portrait he has painted, using conditional love, regret, obsession, and dismay as bleak, brushstroke washes. |
 | | The lyrics and the music blend seamlessly, with Hates' vocal styling throughout the duration of the CD harkening back to the glory days of way back when, to a time when Andrew Eldritch was mysterious, unflawed, and less human to the core of his audience. |
 | | Hates' vocals are equally as impressive, while staggeringly professional and beatific in their range, and exude an emotional involvement and a depth that escaped Eldritch through pretty much the entirety of his career as a frontman. |
