Give you nothing :
This is a great song with fast singing and 3 chords guitar that is cool even if realy simple. After the song becomes slower for like 30 seconds and becomes faster then it ends after the chorus that is great. One of my favorite song on this album (5/5)

An other song that is pretty simple and not quite different from others so it quite sounds a bit same as the rest. There's a little solo but nothing so great.(3.5/5)

This song is pretty original with some cool drum and good guitar riffs in all the song, a solo that is pretty cool but amybe to much distortion in it and chorus that is realy great.(5/5)

Pessimistic Lines :
This songs has great riffs and soloing, it couldn't have be an other song than this one to end this album.(4.5/5)
Conclusion:
I have to say that it's such a great album but the songs are very short and all around 1:30 minute and it gives us a 26 minutes album with 15 songs !?!?!But at least there's some pretty good songs.
Overall: (4.2/5)
