Pros:
Drum grooves are particularly well-crafted and satisfying, dialling in a grounded yet futuristic sound and providing an excellent backbone to many tracks
Instrumentation is often spacey and wondrous, topping the album's synths wit haunting drones and luscious strings to create many somber and sweet ambient moments
Layering of various melodic phrases and instrumental passages can coalesce into some amazing standout crescendos
Cons:
Repetition of simple melodic phrases, combined with the plainness of the record's synth sounds, can blend many tracks together and make them so forgettable as to resemble hold music
Gets off on the wrong foot, showcasing its least inspired grooves in its opening tracks
Best: Odyssey
Worst: Intro
6/10 Perfect study playlist
