    Tallied up, the hits and the misses are about equal. But it would be unfair to describe Interstellar as middling. What the misses lack is not quality but a strong sense of self in terms of songcraft.

It is a compilation of indie rock melodies with sublimed role of synthesizers and kind of muffled sound ("Know Me", "Gospel-Grace"), characteristic to shoegaze style.
