The record showcases solid songwriting and energetic performances but lacks depth and cohesion across its brief runtime.

What we noticed

  • The title track opens with a driving guitar riff and maintains a consistent tempo throughout, while the second track shifts to a slower, more reflective pace.
  • The production is raw and energetic, capturing the live feel of the band's performances, particularly in the instrumental sections.

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.
