Gunship leans hard into the DRAMA of the synthwave genre, which is really what it's all about. It's burn... intensity, kinetic energy, triumph and tragedy. The arrangements rise and fall, and the textures weave everything together into a ride you just need to get on, throw up your arms, let the wind blow back your hair, and enjoy. Peace Mob
This is a special band. Got to see these guys in concert and got to meet one of them casually at a small bar, and they are a talented, class act through-and-through. This is a joyous record with anthemic songs for those days when you need a lift. Timpy

Really glad Jonathan Belle did a reaction to a track from this album. I bought the album immediately! My second favorite track is Decelerated. Just an awesome album! Cannot tell you how many times I have listened to Only When It's Dark. captainboromir
