The beginning delivers in making the listener imagine a sense of danger due to its driving rhythm and dark atmosphere, but it all changes in an unexpected way.
The song is about as ambient as it is unpredictable. The vocals of "Lotus Island" is its biggest downfall, but thankfully they are minimal and the ambient sections is where the album excels the most.

'The City' boasts a stellar industrial build up and the industrial elements carry over into 'It's Good To Be Gold.' It may not be the best track on the album due to its somewhat cringe worthy vocals, but it features a chilling guitar riff in the beginning that would be perfect in a western movie and a very accessible beat. Rest assured, for those who are still searching for those industrial elements that their previous albums also contained, they remain intact and better than ever here. The song sets the mood beautifully for the entire album and it really delivers a feeling of subtle dread that is so unexpected considering how blunt and to the point Black Light Burns' previous albums are in terms of songwriting and music. Once the ominous sound effects and atmospheric acoustic guitar playing starts in the album opener 'The Alchemist,' the listener knows this is going to be a very unique listen. It's essentially Wes Borland leading the band into an extremely experimental direction that opens the door for many other unpredictable albums to come in the future.

Chock full of disturbing ambiance, brilliant rhythms, and an overall creepy atmosphere, "Lotus Island" is one of the most unique albums anyone could find out there.

Their debut was an angsty alternative rock album with Nine Inch Nails like qualities, but this album is entirely different. I assure you that Black Light Burns showcases Wes' talent as a musician and it is nothing like Limp Bizkit. Just because this is a Wes Borland band, that sometimes triggers instant skepticism because of his affiliation with the former. Perhaps the biggest reason why Wes Borland and Black Light Burns are easily overlooked is because of the fact that Wes is the lead guitarist of Limp Bizkit: one of the most infamous nu metal bands out there.
