 There is no heart or soul; in Let’s Rock, there are few ideas, banal and stale riffs, no potential hits, just lots and lots and looooooots of boooooooring boredom.

 It’s music that serves well as background and at low volume, at those dull and elegant parties, with a drink in hand talking about nothing.

 "Hologram Moon is another work that confirms the current course of Kirlian Camera, now increasingly distant from the glories of the past."

 "There is still the ability to create epic and impactful electronic melodies, but in general, there is a perceivable lack of inspiration with too many concessions to soulless electronic pop."

Kirlian Camera's 'Hologram Moon' continues the band's shift away from their dark-wave origins toward more accessible but soulless electronic pop. While the album includes some epic melodies like 'Sky Collapse' featuring Eskil Simonsson, much of it lacks inspiration compared to their classic works. Calmer tracks and sci-fi interludes provide some atmosphere but fail to revive the band's past glory. Overall, the album reflects a disappointing trend in recent Kirlian Camera releases. Discover Kirlian Camera's latest work and decide if 'Hologram Moon' lives up to the dark-wave legend or marks a shift towards electronic pop.
