Style: Synthwave, darksynth
Primary Emotions/Themes: a deep rhythmic driven foray into darksynth
Thoughts: Tonebox really knocked it out of the park with this one. Most of their other work I don't care too much for, but this one right here they really were on to something.
The main difference here is the relentless emphasis on the bass. It's not just in the drums, but in the synths... they are designed to vibrate you to the very core. When these songs get going there's nothing else like it in my collection. They are relentless.
It's not on every song that Cloud Highway tries to hit me with a brown note. In between the deep synth driven tracks there's some more standard synthwave that is in line with Tonebox's discography. Those songs are fine for what they are, but they essentially are a palate cleanser between the big nasty tracks. Exceptional stuff.
