When you release an album that’s ten songs long, under 30 minutes, and has 3 singles, you need to make every song count. Which is why there being three different tracks under a minute long makes zero sense to me. Overall, the album isn’t great. It’s another beatdown album with 10 identical songs that don’t flow. No atmosphere besides the intro track’s spoken word part (which plays well into the song and would make the album much more compelling and complete). There’s no inherently wrong with any song, but that’s the issue. There’s no risks taken and no variety. The only songs worth mentioning are Low Tech and A Hopeless Fate, which have some uniqueness to them. To summarize, it’s an album made of one song sung 10 times.
