It takes three repeats to admit that, as a Nine, I am able to hold the energy I usual- ly drain away when I take a stand. Well, how uncomfort- able is that? Great sound, though. I’m not sure I agree with all of Drew’s observations about the nine Enneagram types, but it was a pleasure to listen to a well crafted, well sung rock CD with an Enneagram theme. This is a rocker’s sound. The album starts with a chime on a rock beat that brings in vocals after an intro riff. The CD shifts tempo The back of the ENNEA CD says that and rhythm throughout.
