This is a fantastic 8-bit rock album. It's been a while since I have heard any really good 8-bit music. This album incorporates some amazing 8-bit sounds wonderfully with acoustic rock, and fun, melodramatic game nerd lyrics.
Once again, the music is great. The vocals are not amazing, but at the same time, they don't leave too much to be desired. I felt like the tracks near the beginning were better than the tracks near the end. The album migrates towards more rock by the end of the album, but stays true to its nature.
The lyrics are really great if you are in the cyberpunk mood at the moment. A lot of the lyrics are very sad if you can see past the silly videogame references. Basically, if you aren't a fan of anything cyberpunk, you probably won't be able to take this seriously, but if you are, you will fall in love with this album. The lyrics were clean as well, apart from a little profanity on tracks 7 and 8.
On that note, the album cover is really great, although I would perfer it without the cartoon nudity. Another gripe I have is with the license. The license is far too restrictive. I would really appreciate being able to put some of these tracks in the background of a video. I don't understand why an artist wouldn't want the free publicity of derivative works.
My favorite track is the first one, “Sad Robot”. Give it a listen to hear a good summary of this album. If you like 8-bit rock, enjoy videogame music, or are a fan of cyberpunk, you will enjoy this album a lot.
