Among the album's ten tracks, each song stands out for its craftsmanship and the seamless integration of electronic and organic sounds. The standout single "Hope Is" exemplifies this blend beautifully, showcasing a predatory edge through its distinctive guitar sounds and characteristic drum rhythms. Furthermore, the infusion of modern electronic elements, including hints of 90s-style drum & bass, adds a fresh dimension to their sound.

The album comprises ten tracks, clocking in at just under an hour, and there's not a bad track to be found. Each track stands out for its quality, though the final track—while not quite reaching the heights of its predecessors—is also the shortest at 3 minutes, making it a minor detraction from an otherwise stellar set. At 58 minutes, "Hope" maintains a compelling flow and cohesiveness that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

Amarok's "Hope” shows the band's continued growth and artistic vision. It's clear that their musical journey, highlighted by collaborations with notable artists and a continuous push for innovation, has culminated in this beautifully crafted album. From the visually stunning vinyl editions to the deeply resonant themes of hope and transformation, this album is not only a significant mark in Amarok's career but also a beacon for fans of melodic and accessible progressive rock, our sweet spot here at Prog Radio.

We’ve been giving heavy rotation to the four singles released to date, and look forward to playing the remaining songs upon its release on April 5th, when we’ll also feature two new tracks in that week’s “What’s New Proggy Cats?” shows on Monday and Tuesday.
