This record feels like an alternate universe where Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee were members of Yes. The overall sound palette is rich and full of retro synths, but the guitars are usually angular. The bass has a satisfying, snapping bite to it more akin to Geddy’s tone than Chris Squire’s usual overdrive.

Amazing work. I cant tell that it's a some sort of breakthrough, but my listening experience was... you know, mindblowing.
Very interesting album. Maxim Grebtsov
