The mixing on the album is great. The lyrics are easy to hear
and understand, even when there is a lot going on with the background instrumentals.
Each song holds true to the band’s unique voice, and the mixing helps keep this
cohesive throughout.
Listeners will be able to relate to the lyrics. It is so
clear that Wheeler wrote a bulk of these songs because of how passionate he is
when he sings each note and word. Listeners can tell that Wheeler put his whole
heart into the songs on this album.
The songs on the album all have a different sound and feel.
Some are electronic rock while others are slower ballads. However, they are all
cohesive within the album’s story. Each song echoes back to the band’s voice.
There are two covers on the album: "Zarathustra" and “Jump the Line.” However, the band put
their own spin on these classic songs that everyone will recognize. They infused
their own sound and style into the songs, forming them to fit with the rest of
the album.
The album starts out with an electronic rock version of Zarathustra,
which is the “2001: A Space Odyssey” theme song. It sets up the album’s feel
and overall subject matter. The album is all about adventures and journeys, and
this starting song is the perfect first step.
Overall, this album is perfect for those who love rock
music, especially more modern rock bands. None of the songs are labeled as explicit,
so the album is perfect for listeners of all ages. The album has a lot of fun
vibes balanced with more serious moments sprinkled throughout. The album does
not take itself too seriously, and that allows listeners to have an experience
that is truly out of this world.
