What we noticed

  • The title track features a prominent, gritty guitar riff that drives the song, while the verses alternate between introspective lyrics and anthemic choruses.
  • The second track, 'Free Angel,' shifts to a more mellow tone with softer instrumentation and a slower tempo, creating a contrast with the energetic first track.
