    Well it might not be a great classic 20 years down the road but damn, it sounds good, much better than most junk created these days!!! Good Job by Jon 4 sure!! I would give it 8.5 but i'll give it 10 cuz of that lousy 1 Doofbag gave him.

    Jonathan has obviously decided to experiment on this album and as we all know, not all experiments end well. However, this one does. Each song has its own unique feeling. This is my favourite album of 2018 so far. Although there are few songs that carry a certain resemblance of Korn, don't expect much similarity. Approach this album with an open mind and let your imagination run wild.Jonathan has obviously decided to experiment on this album and as we all know, not all experiments end well.

    His debut solo album edges away from Korn's clattering, downtuned noise. What is unexpected is just how far from the mothership he's travelled--and how good the result is. [Jun 2018, p.88]

    Oftentimes, Davis dips his toes into this new realm of instrumentation, only to return to his heavy comfort blanket, twisted riffs drowning out any tentative experiments. You can’t help but wonder just how interesting Black Labyrinth could have been if he only dove a little deeper.

    Black Labyrinth is an interesting, if flawed distraction from this icon--though it doesn't justify a 10-year wait. [26 May 2018, p.53]
