"Kicking off with “Same Story,” the track melds reggae grooves with distorted rock guitars—an uncommon yet intriguing combination. The reggae foundation, characterized by upward guitar strumming and a tight rhythm section, contrasts with the gritty rock elements, creating a catchy and dynamic experience. The standout feature, however, is the cascading, dreamy vocal lines that elevate the track." -BoredCity
"“Mind Made Up” opens with a metal edge reminiscent of early Metallica, before transitioning into a reggae vibe. While the genres are kept somewhat distinct, the seamless transitions showcase the band’s versatility. The rapid shifts in style are handled deftly, and the vocals shine throughout, adding a layer of cohesiveness to the eclectic sound." -BoredCity
