The Boy Who Stood Still reminds me of Tears For Fears' Mothers Talk, especially in the drum production and the outro.
Overall, this album, for me, is like a 21st century take on 80s albums like Synchronicity, So, Power Windows, Grace Under Pressure, Songs from the Big Chair, and a few other albums that captured the essence of what it was like to live in the last decade of the Cold War. I wish I could describe it better, but those albums, for me, really define what it meant to be alive in the 80s. They captured a sense of collective dread, of feeling like we are tiptoeing on the edge of annihilation, but also containing a little slice of hope. This album nails that same atmosphere for me, updated for the 21st century.
