The EP showcases strong riffs and contrasting styles but lacks depth in its brief runtime.

What we noticed

  • The title track features a prominent guitar riff that drives the song, with dynamic shifts between verses and choruses.
  • The second track is a playful, upbeat theme song that contrasts sharply with the heavier tone of the first track.
