Soundtrack to A Vacant Life brings a more mature Flashbulb that is much more confident with his techniques and more sure of his place as a modern day musician. Every piece is carefully crafted to perfect detail and the short length of these tracks makes them even more special like precious little gems.

Definitely his best album so far, but also one of the best albums in this genre in the last few years, easily surpassing recent works of veterans in his field. 4.9/5
