Great review by Klaus Reckert at Gaesteliste.de:

Kaptain Carbon from Hollywood Metal gives Stringweaver 7 Hammers out of 9.
“Mr. Fastfinger constructs songs that are more like water slides which do 5 loopy loops and send the listeners through seven hoops of fire all while on a motorcycle. It’s the strangest water ride ever. “
