The Belgian group, now mature and stable, embraces the indie wave of the 2000s while maintaining its characteristic art-rock stamp; the connection with the past remains firm, especially in the opening "When She Comes Down" and in "Oh Your God", where Tom Barman's mysterious approach undergoes sudden alterations; his voice is reminiscent of Bono's, just as the sounds hint at an indie version of U2, as evident in the closing "Popular Culture".
In the vibrant "Favourite Games" and "Is A Robot", they inject more action, with a gritty guitar riff wandering through the streets of Gotham City; this is where the atmospheres thicken, mixing with kraut keyboards in "The Architect", musically approaching TV On The Radio and Bloc Party. These dark settings return in "Slow", featuring Karim Andersson from The Knife, while the romantic "Eternal Woman" is light British pop that is also reflected in "Smokers Reflect", whose sounds are reminiscent of Keane.
In short, Deus continue on their path, without too many deceptions.

09 The Vanishing of Maria Schneider (04:44)
your time
not seen it passing
your beauty no
not seen it go
a moment
made out of moments
made out of gold
and your silver soul
and no one knows what you've become
you elegantly put us on
for ever and a day
inside your fingers
my heart's the trigger
you pull with ease
it's my destiny
in times
that i went looking
i had no clue
where to look for you
cause no one knows what you've become
you elegantly put us on
forever and a day
somewhere over tired oceans
underneath the stars
it's time to become who you are, my love
that sad look shake it off
the road has been too long
we're all just passengers
in time and space
an end we never chase
but fate will erased
marveling at
how your beauty stays
your time
not seen it passing
your beauty no
not seen it go
a moment
made out of moments
made out of gold
and your silver soul
and no one knows what you've become
you elegantly put us on
for ever and a day

Vantage Point ends up being probably the group’s least inspired and significant work, but for this reason, not to be underestimated because it still has something to say.
His warm and hoarse voice remains the soul of the group, devoid for years of the members who once filled everything with jazz strokes.
