Musical and lyrical style
The album contains intellectual and philosophical lyrics about numerous topics and melds them together as the lines between humanity and technology are thinned.[1] The instrumentation incorporates electronic choirs, polyrhythmic riffs, jazz-influenced bass lines, and dynamic vocals among many other things. The album also features a linear tempo rendition of Nox Aurumque, originally composed by Eric Whitacre.[2]
