46 /100
Foothills
Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The album showcases energetic punk rock with varied pacing but lacks standout moments that elevate it beyond its genre.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks maintain a high energy level with fast tempos and aggressive guitar riffs, while the fourth track introduces a slower, more reflective pace.
  • Several songs feature call-and-response vocal patterns, creating an interactive feel between the lead singer and backing vocals.
  • The album closes with a track that gradually fades out, leaving a lingering sense of unresolved tension.

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.
