    This is NOT TRST 2.0. It is more complex and smoother than the debut album. Joyland takes a few listens to take in the new, refined Trust sound. The extra time spent on Joyland is worth every second, as the reward is truly magical.

    While not a reinvention, Joyland does an excellent job of sharpening and streamlining Trust’s sound into something even better than that displayed on the debut.

    Although playful in a creative way, this is a serious album.

    Trust's songs are often strong, though, and work best when Alfons manipulates his vocals towards higher pitches, allowing his melodies to shine and the music to stand out from the synth-pop crowd.
