Overall, The Painter seems to be missing some musically emotional depth to match its tone, and even brief moments like such would provide a better dynamic in that sense. Still, not bad stuff whatsoever.\" - Brian Shultz \/ Punk News\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Misc Label","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649519513892,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2606\/0952\/files\/ugpainter.jpg?v=1774547409","url":"https:\/\/www.stickfiguremailorder.com\/products\/unwelcome-guests-the-painter-7-record","provider":"Stickfigure Mailorder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
