The strongest track off this entire album is вЂњGhostвЂќ. And when you least expect it, I'll be coming from your room.вЂќ which really just give the song a creepy, sexual-predator-watching-you-sleep vibe. Nearly every song is about relationships or sex, with вЂњThe FutureвЂќ having the ultimate example of: вЂњAin't got no time to waste on pussy,вЂќ or вЂњNever grope enough, you know it's just the way I do it. The albumвЂ™s not much to look at lyrically either. These tracks are uninspired at best, and completely forgettable at worst. The album isnвЂ™t trying to move in any new direction on these tracks it's really just the same type of music you could overhear at any given nightclub. Other songs like вЂњHellbentвЂќ or вЂњWhen IвЂ™m With YouвЂќ donвЂ™t even try to bring new elements to the music. ItвЂ™s worth mentioning the song вЂњMagicвЂќ uses the exact same chord progression as вЂњGet LuckyвЂќ off of Daft Punk's 2013 release. Lyrically and instrumentally, this album draws parallels to Daft PunkвЂ™s in more ways than one.

ItвЂ™s disappointing to see that blending of styles fail, considering how well those elements can blend in albums like Daft PunkвЂ™s вЂњRandom Access MemoriesвЂќ. Whether itвЂ™s the choice of more abrasive synths, or just how opposite the two styles are, it just doesnвЂ™t come together in this album. ItвЂ™s used more effectively in вЂњParalyzedвЂќ, but only because the two elements arenвЂ™t playing simultaneously. One of the best examples is the title track 'Forever', which really grates against the ears when the synth comes in over the orchestra. While itвЂ™s ambitious for the genre, it clashes most of the times itвЂ™s used. This album tries again and again to blend a traditional orchestra with electronic instruments. Mystery Skulls is an American solo act by Luis Dubuc, perhaps best known for his single вЂњGhostвЂќ off this album, which landed on the US Hot Dance/Electronic charts at 15. Review Summary: Well-intentioned but poorly executed, 'Forever' doesn't stand the test of time
