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

The album showcases energetic rock with varied tempos but lacks strong cohesion and lasting depth.

What we noticed

  • The first half of the album features high-energy tracks with driving guitar riffs and aggressive vocals, while the second half shifts to more melodic and introspective songs.
  • Several tracks utilize a call-and-response vocal style, particularly in the choruses, creating a dynamic interaction between the lead singer and backing vocals.

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.
