3 stars Moon Safari creates some of the most soothing progressive rock/pop possible. Plenty of melodies, positive feelings (lyrics), intricate vocals. Before I bought this album at a prog-rock festival, I was mainly thrilled by high band ratings here and their origin, as Sweden has generated an above-average number of prog acts per its population.

The main selling points are rich and often sweet vocals and quite good compositions. Subdued moments are alternated by well arrange keyboards and soloing though there are competent guitar moments and tasty instrumental intermezzos. I understand that positive music draws attention of many listeners and makes them happy. I appreciate the musicianship and inspiration by the band however upon repeated listens, it failed to capture my attention until the end of the album. I guess I miss more plot, dramatic and serious moments. While I don't regret buying this album, I don't consider it exceptional.
