More aggressive out the gate than I was expecting. Get Ready For Love is a wall of noise. Got an oogy-boogy psycho circus kinda feel. Track 2 is a ballad with mouth harps. Ooh, the drums just kicked in. It's a good one. Feels deserty. Track 2 is thumping, yes melancholic and beautiful. Track 3, There Is A War Comin, has big stomps and gospel choirs. Track 4, Messiah Ward, brings more chill and interesting sounds. Steady slow beat. There She Goes My Beautiful World, big production, not very interesting. All these songs are too long. All in all, I dislike the bombastic songs and much prefer the quieter ones.
