Higher than 10% of albums we've rated

The album features energetic tracks with varied vocal styles but lacks standout compositions that elevate it beyond its genre.

What we noticed

The first three tracks maintain a high energy level with aggressive guitar riffs and driving rhythms, while the fourth track introduces a more melodic chorus.
The album includes moments of introspection, particularly in tracks like 'I Suffer Well' and 'Feel Like Home', which contrast with the more aggressive songs.
