With a new moniker and a new full-length album, Stewart brings together all of his earlier influences to create a sound that is nevertheless something of a departure from all of them. Metanarrative is often dry and sometimes even a bit arch in tone, but it's never chilly or standoffish; "Harsh Reality," in particular, is melancholy and strangely beautiful, with clouds of harmony floating around a simple and almost monolithic beat. "Gone to the Dogs," on the other hand, is dark and glitchy, with a somewhat eerie and foreboding mood, while "Nodrex" nicely juxtaposes a strutting rhythm with a contemplative chord progression. "Innocence" misses the chance to do something very interesting: the hints of Latin rhythm are intriguing in a minimal electro context, but the piece ends up noodling around aimlessly and never becomes as interesting as it should have. But "Beautiful Death" ends the program on a quiet and gently regretful note, completing an arc of moods and textures that makes the album an impressive listening experience overall.
