1. A long drum beat intro before the guitars join in. Nice mellow vocals to start the track, a slight criticism now - the vocals could do with being a bit louder at the start, as they are drowned out to a certain extent by the instruments, but when you can hear them properly they are really good and clear. This is a nice catchy track though and once the vocals hit the right level they are great. The guitars and drums are excellently played with some great riffs and strumming. All round this is a great track.

2. An acoustic intro on this track, before we are hit with more great , loud, crashing riffs and good loud vocals. A constant beat throughout along with good lyrics and an almost ‘bouncing’ feel from the instruments. Some really heavy riffs blast in half way through the track before we are hit with some ‘Adam Ant’ lyrics, a real nice touch there guys ! I like this track loads.

3. A very mellow, almost floaty sound at the start of this track, that builds to a heavier beat before the soft vocals come in (this time the vocals are not ‘drowned out’ by the instruments) All of a sudden you are hit with much heavier ‘metal’ vocals that blend in so well with the softer ‘whispering’ vocals. There really is a great mix of different sounds on this track that blend beautifully. You are also treated to some great ‘machine gunning’ riffs that catapult you into the screaming metal voice that ends the track. I would say this is the strongest track so far on the Ep.

4. We are taken back to the metal sound for the intro of this track , with dual harmonizing vocals, one soft and one almost talking, but at the same time it has that nice ‘metal’ feel. This track has been mixed really well and has an almost stadium metal feel to it. A great one to end with.
