Pony Da Look seemed to have difficulty establishing a sonic identity with bludgeoning drums, shrieking reverb-drenched vocals and hazily sculpted keyboard sounds all fighting for space, creating a muddled wash of sound in the process. There were a few inspired tribal drum grooves and sinister keyboard riffs, but none if it cohered into a dynamic whole. Some of the parts worked, but the sum did not.
