I'm not sure how much nostalgia/memory played in my appreciation of Hours, but this one felt far, far weaker, more generic, less clearly constructed, and just less memorable overall. It's still cool, but not great. 2 is a clear example of this, feeling more generic and less mature than any of the tracks on Hours. Lumens does have its moments - the intro on 1 is dope, 5 has cool rhythm changes also its conclusion gets annoying, 8-9 have cool bits, and the slowly decaying, ambientey post-rockey album conclusion, whilst cliche, is well done. But I still fail to see any reason why I'd ever come back to this over Hours. 3.5
