What we noticed

The album opens with a strong synth-driven track that sets a high-energy tone, maintaining a consistent tempo through the first half.
Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies that build intensity, particularly in the choruses, creating a dynamic contrast with the verses.
The last three tracks slow down significantly, introducing more introspective themes and softer instrumentation, which alters the album's momentum.
