This has a Bemani feel to it, but I see no evidence of anything Japanese about Astronauts of Antiquity. This kind of music belongs in a hipster restaurant like Ti Couz that charges $15 for a stupid mushroom and cheese crepe. Sure, it tastes good, but is anyone there for any reason other than because they are trying to get laid?
“Everywhere” leads off the album and sounds great. Even the most boring date will be OK in this environment because you can just get lost in the music. Just be sure to ask for separate checks first.
“Breakthrough” is buried in the album but stands out among its peers. It’s a little reminiscent of something that escaped from a poetry slam, and I hear Doctor Who hooks in there, but it’s better than what the rest of the album offers. A lot of these songs really only serve to make me feel old, though. Why should I care what kind of scotch goes with this antidepressant? It’s got alcohol in it, doesn’t it?
I was hoping “Love Is All Around” was a cover but no such luck. This reminds me of cheesy late-1980s rhythm and blues music.
