Outstanding from start-to-finish, Hello Demons Meet Skeletons final EP, Choices, is a
breath-taker in every way shape and form. Part of the acoustic attributes from the first
instalment are still intact here, but overall this is a straight-up rock album and it
thrills from the start to the hilarious closing three or so minutes of "The Curtain Burns"
with a seemingly improvised number known as "Walking the Streets at Night". While Chills
ended with Lowery rambling, this instalment's rambling is much more focused and enjoyable to
listen to. "I Give Up", "Your Ghost" and "Caved In" are the best tracks here, but they are
all fantastic in all senses possible: lyrically, vocally and instrumentally as well. Give it
a shot, it may just surprise you as much as it did me.
