1. Zero - A fun and upbeat way to open the album. 2. Heads Will Roll - I've heard the A-Trak remix of this songs many times and I think I like the remixed version better. 3. Soft Shock - As the name suggests, it does go for a slower, a bit softer vibe despite the distortion still being present. I really like how the it progresses. Enjoyable. 4. Skeletons - Starts off with only synths and vocals. Lyrically minimalistic, obviously focusing more on atmosphere. The progression is even more noticeable with this one with a slower pace and buildup. I feel like I'm on a journey. Really cool track. 5. Dull Life - Starts calmly but quickly picks up into a fun groove. I was afraid is was going to be another slow burner but it actually made move. Definitely leaning more on the rock side with the dominant guitars. Fun. 6. Shame And Fortune - They sure love to build things up with that opening riff. Fuzzy guitars and groovy drumming. The instruments really shine on this one, especially the drums. 7. Runaway - Nice colorful synths opening the track, then the more moody guitars takes their place. The drums kick in as the colorful synths make their comeback and then everything comes clashing in a beautiful chaos. Once. The emphasis on musical structure rather than lyrics is preset here aw well and I love it. Very cool. 8. Dragon Queen - This one starts groovy for a change. Everything is son funky here. Another song you can dance to. 9. Hysteric - Starts off warm and chill. I love how each instrument does it's own thing and shines through. Then those happy synths appear out of nowhere and what is it? horns? They always know how to progress the song further and keep it interesting. 10. Little Shadow - Is it the final track already? This album flew by me so fast. A quiet and moody start lead by thunderous drums. More layers are added while the calm and moody vibe remains. Maybe not the most memorable but nice little track. Conclusion: I listened to the album only once so far and I quite enjoyed it. It didn't overstay it's welcome and was consistent all throughout while remaining engaging. I can see myself listening to it at least one more time and maybe playing it again if I'm in the mood. Maybe after the next listen I would explore their discography further.
