I downloaded some of their stuff from their website, including the song you mention in your 'music:' line.
All I can say is: WTF?
Somehow, these guys remind me of why Nobuo Uematsu is the best videogames music writer in the world. Tunes can be repetetive without becoming boring. Shame no-one told The Flaming Lips...
Maybe it's just the fact that the lead 'singer' can't sing, maybe it's the excruciatingly 'happy' lyrics, maybe it's just the annoying use of computer-generated noise...I'm not sure. I don't think it helps that Do You Realise really is over 1.5mins too long. Somehow, I get the impression that another band might be able to do something good with these tunes, by performing them better, and writing better lyrics for them. As it is, the album is just a good concept with terrible execution.
Oh, and Flight Test sounds way too much like the start of Father and Son by Cat Stevens, which wouldn't so bad if it weren't for the fact that an entire 4:15 song sounds like the first 0:30 of a much better song.
