Released : October 7th 2022 Track List () Separate World Another Lifetime Rocket On My Feet The Golden Age Memory Take Me Away Touch Gimme The Night )( Shame ... Hey Now Music Videos Quote Edited October 12, 2022 by ThehushSound
ThehushSound Posted October 12, 2022 Author Posted October 12, 2022 It took me a couple of spin on my record to appreciate the album. I think its going to wind up being my 3rd overall favorite of theirs pushing Hyperion in to last.

Take Me Away, Touch, Give Me The Night are my 1-2-3 punch of the album. Memory and Hey Now are the weakest of the album. Shame is such a fun track very different for St. Lucia a very moody and dark vibe.
Ewan Chaos Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I think most of my favorites were the pre-released first few songs from that EP, but this is still good! Definitely better than the last album, but for me doesn't touch their first two. Separate World, Another Lifetime, Rocket on My Feet, Take Me Away, & Touch probably make up some sort of top 5 for me. )( is kind of great as well? They could have expanded it to be some massive Stay-like song if they really wanted.
wraith Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 I came across Separate World ages ago and it is such a fkn smash. Need to listen to the full thing now

Hey Now was indeed underwhelming. I'm shocked at seeing most of you guys saying that their first albums are much better than this, because to me this is already excellent. I can't wait to dive into their discography.
That Bad Eartha Posted October 12, 2022 Posted October 12, 2022 Yeah agreed this doesn't touch the first 2 albums, but still a lot of highlights and stuff to love here. Seeing them live again later in the month. Touch is a classic in their discog already though for me.

I think My biggest problem with Memory is the placement of the track I think it would make a better closing track. When The Night and Matter are two of my favorite albums of all time. Master classes in euphoric synthpop. Hyperion has its moments but Utopia seems to be what they were aiming to make when they made Hyperion. Utopia seems to take the ideas and sounds they tried in Hyperion and flesh them out much better. 1 hour ago, That Bad Eartha said: Yeah agreed this doesn't touch the first 2 albums, but still a lot of highlights and stuff to love here.

Right Now Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Can’t wait to see them in LA later this month!
ThehushSound Posted December 10, 2022 Author Posted December 10, 2022 Coming back to this after leaving it alone for a few weeks I have found this has aged well and its a very solid album.
computer.boy Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 This is pretty fun. Top three: • Take Me Away. • Gimme the Night. • Rocket On My Feet.

ThehushSound Posted August 27, 2023 Author Posted August 27, 2023 5 hours ago, computer.boy said: I like Two Moons, on instagram Jean-Philip said he had originally intended for Utopia to be a double album and Two Moons was going to be part of the second album. Plans changed and now he is working on the next record. Hopefully we don’t have to wait 5 years this time. I haven’t listened to the live album yet.
computer.boy Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 A few tracks grew on me… This is such a solid record overall! My only skip would be "Shame" (It's not bad, it's just a different vibe from St. Lucia)
