Strangers:Continuing the funk trend, this is a pleasant, laid back track.Starshines:Funky song with sleigh bells making for an interesting sound, with a couple of timing transitions thrown in for good measure.I would write more, but I’m too busy listening to it. Tune In:A more conventional angry punk song.Creature Feature: Heavier song with interesting timing going on.Light Years:Following the reggae trend set up by the previous song, this one has a bit of a brooding sadness feel to it.Color: Progressing from the airy guitar sound, this song adds a heavier reggae sound to the mix.Running: Another happy song, this one with more ambient guitars, at least in the beginning.Rap vocals over a heavy rock riff, mixed with melodic and moody guitar sounds. The Continuous Life:Very nice lead in from the previous track.Use of Time: A more downtempo song with a melancholy bassline and wistful vocals.Also, it took too many times to spell odyssey correctly. Also the title ‘Jupiter’ could be a reference to the film. Jupiter:Starting off with an organ, reminds me of ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ a bit.What Was I Thinking: Even heavier, this is the most metal song so far.Apparently this so was called ‘Fuck The KKK’ or something along those lines, but they decided to change it. Inner Light Spectrum: A nice, mellow song with sweet ambient guitar and very relaxed vocals. ![]() Beautiful Disaster: Feeling the reggae influence again, with a more sullen sound that the previous tracks.Galaxy: Heavier song reminiscent of something from R.A.T.M.Prisoner: A slower, more relaxed track, with antique synth sounds in the background.And the ending changes to a totally reggae thing. Transistor: A song about semiconductors is delightfully melodic, with strange timing.We arrived at the pissup social event and convinced the host to put the album on.Anyway, without further ado, this is my review, song by song as I listen only for the second time to this album. As my friend and I were travelling to a get together he started to wax lyrical about its various transitions and shifts from one genre to another. This is an album that before last night I had never heard of, let alone listened to.
