Higher than 89% of albums we've rated

The album showcases innovative production and varied soundscapes while maintaining a cohesive electronic vibe.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a title track that features layered synths and a steady build-up, setting a vibrant tone for the rest of the record.
  • Several tracks incorporate vocal samples, but they are often treated as rhythmic elements rather than traditional lead vocals.
  • The sequencing includes tracks that shift in tempo and mood, with 'Star Guitar' providing a melodic interlude before the more intense 'Hoops'.
  • The final track, 'The Test', employs a gradual fade-out, leaving listeners with an ambient conclusion that contrasts with earlier high-energy moments.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
