This album is awesome. Canvas Solaris have gotten better at showing what a wide variety of emotions and moods can be created with their sound as well as shifting those emotions over the course of a song to make stuff that's hella fun to listen to. The keyboards fit the bands scifi/space atmosphere perfectly. Definitely nothing on the album sounds off to me; having listened to their last four albums a ton, it all suits their personality. I especially love the solos where the keyboards sound like they're malfunctioning.

It was good. I'll definitely give it a few more spins, but the keyboard sounds were at times a bit too lightweight. Kudos to them going beyond the standard set of keyboard patches and pretending to be a string section.

True words. This album is fantastic. I absolutely love these guys!
