The debut release from Atlanta-based band, The Constellations, has a little bit of everything. There are clear rock/indie rock roots, but as the album progresses there is a distinct hip hop flavor that becomes more prevalent. With guest appearances by Cee-Lo and Asher Roth, the album holds water with hip hop fans and indie rock fans alike. There are smooth bass lines throughout, at times coupled with pronounced synth beats, there's sort of a low and heavy sound on some tracks. There is a certain ominous quality that has been compared to Massive Attack. The lyrics are dark and laced with references to drugs and sex. It's definitely an album one would listen to on a track by track basis. There isn't a clear theme that unifies the songs and it is kind of all over the place. For a band having formed in 2002, they haven't advanced themselves very far musically. The album shows potential, but sounds like a debut in a juvenile sense.
