What we noticed

  • The album opens with a high-energy track that sets a fast pace, which is maintained through the first half before slowing down slightly in the latter tracks.
  • Several songs feature dual vocal lines, allowing for call-and-response dynamics that enhance the pop-punk feel.
  • The last two tracks incorporate more introspective lyrics and softer instrumentation, creating a contrast to the earlier upbeat songs.
