Knights of Cydonia is one of those songs that’s always made my skin crawl and I’ve always been deterred from these guys because of that. I was prepared to give this a 1 or 2 because I fucking hate that song but I didn’t realize Starlight was these guys, and Supermassive Black Hole isn’t as annoying as I remember.

This is a quirky little album and unfortunately I couldn’t hear much of the narration between each song because I was listening in a loud environment. Perhaps I’ll listen again some day but the songs weren’t good enough for that to happen any time soon.

Parts of this album sounded like I was trying to play along with a boring punk band but my only instrument is my shitty Casio keyboard from 1999. Better than I was expecting but worse than it could have been.

Up until now I was only familiar with Collins Genesis and solo Gabriel. I knew these guys used to be prog but I was still surprised by how prog this album is.

I didn’t know what to expect going into this one. I enjoyed it overall but by the middle of it the songs started to blend together.
