Yup, I gave it a listen. There are some songs I totally love on here. I've had Moments of Thunder on repeat for a while now.

I found it very hard to differentiate anything from the last release.  It was quite enjoyable, but I felt like I was listening to Amber Galactic all over again.

It is very similar overall but there are some distinct differences. I feel like this new one is a bit more elaborate than amber galactic was.

This resparked my interest in the album.

From the other songs though what Chad said is what I was thinking so far.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

I love this band and for me it's a discovery from the last 6 months. I can say I'm really addicted to its discography at this point!
My initial thought on this album is that it's really strong as the rest, but, in terms of style, I gues the band is slowly shiffiting from a more oriented 70's classic rock style from the first two to a more AOR style from the last two, with more predominance of the keyboards on each album. For sure, this new one is a bit more keyboard oriented than Amber Galactic. I'm loving this album, I'm pleasent surprised with the very sucessfull mix of AOR and prog on "The Last of the Independent Romantics" - incredible song, but I still think it will be very hard to surpass the superb quality that Amber Galactic has in each song.

I grew up with ABBA - they (along with Simon and Garfunkel) are the first pop music i ever knew and i still think they're the best pop band in history.

This album has a lot of ABBA style arrangements in some of the guitar riffs. I'm thinking they swallowed Voulez Vous and swirled it up in joyful rock goodness in several areas.

Cool, I grew up listenting a lot of ABBA too, my parents and older brothers liked them a lot. So ABBA has a special place in my heart.
Interesting, I didn't catch the influences on the arreangements. I'll check them out :tup
What I meant to say with a more keyboard oriented, that was not with the intention to say that there's lesser guitars on this album, but I do think there's less guitar riffs on the album. Anyway, no problem for me.

A bit off topic but since Björn proven he's a versatile singer I thought it's time for those how don't know too learn about another side of him:

I interviewed Björn about the new album, such a cool guy: https://www.musicalypse.net/the-night-flight-orchestra-bjorn-strid-2018/ I'm also working on a review, which is coming soon :)

There's a "space dye vest" reference in the lyrics to Barcelona. Wonder if they thought it would resonate with a DT fan. :-)

Saw these guys in London on Friday and had an absolutely fabulous time. If you're remotely into them encourage you to go see them on this tour. Terrific fun.

This band was my favourite discovery of this year! Surely it was the band I listened most this year, what a strong discography!

My bud and I were saying very similar things on the way back. The writing, vibe and performances are SO strong. Perfect, really? Other bands do stuff where they ape a certain era but i can't think of any that are this good. They take that era, update it and make it better. Incredible.  :tup

There's a new instrumental song on spotify that I atleast missed completely. The 80s vibe is stellar!  :tup

Yes. Love it!

There's a kind-of soap opera video for it on YouTube too.

What song is this? 

New NFO fan here.  Discovered them as I'm listening to the bands I don't know playing at next year's ProgPower and boy is this band fun.  Really enjoy them.  I've got the last two albums now and both are stellar catchy fun and groovey from front to back.  I think they may be the best set at ProgPower just because this is music that makes you want to move.

Cabin Pressure Drops, it's a nice song nothing fancy but it has alot of 80s vibe to it.

And is instrumental. Their last single, that came out in the summer, Satellite is ridiculously great.

I think these guys might be my favourite band now. Incredible fun live.

Seems its instrumental on spotify but has female spoken word over the music on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRYk8wilx54  Interesting, it feels more like intro music so do they have a new album coming out?  This does say its a teaser.
