The album showcases energetic performances and solid songwriting but lacks cohesion in its pacing.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks maintain a high energy level with driving guitar riffs and steady drumming, while the fourth track introduces a more chaotic structure.
  • Several songs feature extended instrumental sections that allow for improvisation, particularly in the guitar solos.
  • The album closes with a track that shifts to a slower tempo, creating a contrast with the preceding fast-paced songs.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
