You know how some albums sound weak on first listen, then get more likable the more time you give it? I believe they call those growers. Well, I guess you could say See You On The Ground is a shrinker. Pretty cool upon the first listen or two, then becomes more flat the more you listen to it. The female clean singing/death growl dual-vocal dynamic is always something cool to hear, unfortunately it does little to make this album anything beyond an average listen.
It's difficult whether to say whether or not the material itself is weak, or the production is. There definitely seems to be some cool ideas firing around every now and then, unfortunately, as a whole, Deadend In Venice seem to lack any sort of kick to their music. Very rarely does anything soar, charge or put the hammer down. Above all else, it sounds extremely condensed, both in sound quality, and song writing.
See You On The Ground is definitely is worth checking out, it does have it's fair share of promising moments, just don't expect any type of wrecking ball here.

Not terrible, definitely not good, the very definition of generic. The review is spot on.
