So this is still the only Ars Nova album I have heard. I do remember shawn the station manager at the thedividinline.com saying wow they’re singing. So if you have heard of this band before this is not an instrumental album.
The album is very steady nothing to great nothing I feel like I need to skip. The subject matter is one I typically like and could be used for the theme of an Ayreon project and is pretty close to the subject matter of a certain Star Trek movie.
The first song called introduction has a lot of plot by exposition which some might find off putting but I like the music around it enough to enjoy even that track
The album has a nice epic to end it called Trust to the Future.
