Review
Clocking in under thirty minutes across fourteen tracks, the sequence relies on rapid alternations between sub-minute sprints and heavy, swinging grooves. "Tethered" establishes a mid-tempo bounce that immediately snaps into the rapid thrash of "Flammable," establishing a tight cadence that rarely lingers. Brief sonic detours—a short reggae interlude, a flicker of radio dial noise on "Sunrise"—act as brief recalibrations before the music plunges back into high-gear motion.
The midsection channels its velocity through thick, chugging bass and side-to-side guitar riffs on tracks like "Stab Wounds" and "Don't MisStep." Rather than decelerating into monotonous repetition, the final stretch shifts the pacing toward expansive, anthemic structures. Melodic lead guitars and prominent gang vocals on "The Ride" and "Chase a Dream" elevate the closing sequence, guiding a relentless half-hour sprint to a towering finish.
