Fair point. I haven't found myself connecting with much of it (but I do love the jellyfish promo) in recent months. That doesn't mean its bad, it just means that I don't find it all that Underworldly either. At this point I'm kinda just rolling with it hoping to see it all come together at some point. I'm also wondering if maybe, for me, it just won't?
