The Crash of Cassini is a mess. Even though it’s only forty-five minutes, it feels overlong and often alternately too bare or too cluttered. So why is it rated favorably? There are several key aspects that break through the often clouded proceedings. Magnuson excels at writing hooks, and the vocal interplay is usually very strong, except when it slips into Evanescence territory. I also quite enjoyed the duo’s ’90s rock sensibilities and the way they were integrated into the broad palette of influences. The more overtly metallic moments can also be cited as strengths, the attempts at White Stripes comparisons less so. (artist website) Rating: 3/5 Stars
