Whether you're revisiting the moon for the hundredth time or discovering the "Lonely Stoner" for the first time, Man on the Moon: The End of Day stands as a testament to the power of artistic transparency. It is, quite simply, a moon landing for the soul.
Streaming "remasters" often try to "clean up" the low end or boost the highs to sound modern. This ruins tracks like "Pursuit of Happiness" (the Steve Aoki remix wasn't the original closer—the haunting "Up Up & Away" was).

Tracks range from the bouncing electro-pop of "Make Her Say" to the brooding, atmospheric tension of "Sky Might Fall," all while maintaining a cohesive, "space-y, artsy theme".
